THE ST ANDREW’S COLLEGE DIFFERENCE
As 2021 begins at St Andrew’s College, its Strategic Vision, Framing our Future, continues to determine the priorities for the coming year. Central to all that the college does is its purpose, ‘Together building better people for life’. It is strongly committed to the holistic development of its students, through classroom learning, and encouraging their participation in the many sporting and cultural activities, spiritual and service commitments, and social activities on offer in the world-class environment at St Andrew’s.
The students also undertake a full programme of well-being strategies, which help them develop a broad set of character strengths, virtues, and competencies, in addition to cultivating their intellectual minds. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the focus on student well-being has perhaps never been more important.
The 2021 student leadership team, led by Head Girl, Tapenisa Havea, and Head Boy, Jack Calder, have come up with a clever theme, ‘Take One Step’, as a guiding principle for the year. They are encouraging students to step into a new direction, whether that be trying new opportunities at school, expanding friendship groups and connections, or setting new personal goals.
