Open Days

The best way to experience the Cathedral School difference is to visit our campus, talk with our educators and students and take a tour of the school.

Below you will find a range of opportunities to visit the School.

2024 Open Day

Have you ever wondered what lies beyond our front gate? Come and see for yourself at our annual Open Day.

On Open Day you’ll have the opportunity to explore our campus and meet the staff and students that make Cathedral such a special place to learn. Be sure to attend our Junior, Middle and Senior School information sessions to learn about the academic curriculum, discover the range of extracurricular opportunities and find out about our pastoral care program.

A highlight of Open Day is a ‘behind the scenes’ tour hosted by our current Cathedral School students. Not only will you be guided around our serene campus but they will share with you stories about their very own student experience along the way! Don’t miss participating in a classroom workshop and take some time to relax under our towering 160 year old rain trees while enjoying some special performances.

Our 2024 Open Day will be held on Saturday 18 May, 9am – 12pm.
