Celebrating 107 Years

The Cathedral School gathered on the 26 – 28 July to celebrate the school community, staff, and students – beginning with Foundation Day service and Lagoon Dash on Friday, the Sundowner by the Lagoon Friday evening, the Past Student reunions on Saturday, and the St James Cathedral service on Sunday. This year, we also marked the 100th anniversary of our House system, honouring the legacy of Bede, Chatham, Langton, and More.

Thank you to past student and boarder Kerrie Richards for visiting the school and addressing the students and staff at our Foundation Day service. It was an inspiration to hear your story and celebrate your success.

The school also recognised two long-serving and dedicated staff with awards presented at the Foundation Day service:
