Naming this magazine, Inspired, is a risk. The etymology of the word first points to the Latin term inspirare and then on to the Greek and Biblical term pnein, both of which mean, ‘to be filled with the breath of, or moved by, the Divine’. 

Yet, when you read the stories contained in this digital publication, you will realise it is a risk worth taking. St Andrew’s Cathedral School is no ordinary school; it is an inspired school. In the truest sense of the word, it is a school that is filled with and moved by the spirit of God. We call it ‘the SACS spirit’.

It is the feeling in the school that you cannot articulate. It is the binding force that grows our community, that lifts our heads up, that fills us with joy, that moves our creativity and that makes the education that occurs, immeasurable.  
 
What you will read in the pages that follow are some of the stories of those who inspire and are inspired. Dr Hall’s philosophy classes, our First Nations community, parents, donors, our Old Andreans and our Director of Finance. Read deeply, read slowly and you, too, will be inspired.
