6 MAGNOLIA MAGAZINE / OLD GIRL STAFF
NO PLACE LIKE HOME Each year, girls continue to return to us as staff. Let’s hear from just a few Old Girls who have returned to St Cath’s.
Angeliki Caredes (Macarounas, STC1997) Junior School Teacher | Stage 2 Leader 1997
St Catherine’s was always the place Angeliki wanted to work. Aside from her fond memories of performing in Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, she also admired our teaching philosophy. During her university years, she even visited the school to learn about innovative teaching practices in the Junior School. “I still pinch myself that I am lucky enough to work here! I beam with pride when I see my students embracing being a St Cath’s girl,” Angeliki said.

Stephanie Fraser (Ng, STC2013) Assistant Chaplain | Biblical Studies
When Stephanie returned to St Catherine’s to join the chaplaincy team, she found herself teaching in the same classrooms where she had once been a student. She even worked alongside some of her former teachers. “There’s something nice about the familiarity of that,” she said. “I loved my teachers at school and am so aware of the ways they shaped me. There is something really lovely about being back and being part of something that helped me in so many ways.”
“ There is something special about being a St Cath’s girl. It’s like an unspoken bond that we all have.

Elke Thackeray (Sutcliffe, STC2001) Enrolments Coordinator Elke never imagined working at St Catherine’s, but she feels fortunate to be able to share the school’s legacy with the next generation. Elke enjoys explaining to prospective families the impact St Cath’s has had on her. “We are more than just a school. The experiences you have here follow you throughout life,” she said, adding that the “lifelong friendships, opportunities and networks”, she gained by being part of the St Cath’s community, have completely changed her life.
