Organisational management and growth
Excellent teaching creates excellent learning opportunities for our students. St Catherine’s is dedicated to academic rigour in a supportive, inclusive environment. We hold high expectations for our students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to engage with the world using state- of-the-art facilities. Our teaching staff are professionally engaged in the science of learning and are committed to best practice in the classroom, while our students are empowered to be academically resilient.
As an Anglican school we are committed to the teachings of Christ. Our Biblical Studies classes provide an opportunity to share the gospel and Christian worldview while allowing girls to make their own decisions about their personal faith. Our service work provides a tangible way to live out our Christian values of love and compassion. Chapel offers an opportunity to worship together in song, prayer and biblical reflection.
The high quality staff who are recruited and developed at the school enable excellence in teaching. Robust governance, sound fiscal and risk management have provide quality physical capital. Effective governance and oversight form the basis for the school to meet the challenges of expanding operations, emerging issues such as data governance and set the baseline for sustainable growth.

Co-curricular
St Catherine’s is currently a school of choice for girls in the eastern suburbs. We will continue to share the wonderful opportunities of learning in our Junior School as we rebalance our enrolments across K-12. We will continue to balance our boarding house with international, Indigenous and growing numbers of country boarders into the future.
Sport and Beyond the Curriculum (BTC) are important components in our co-curricular offerings at St Catherine’s. Over the past few years we have built outstanding programs in rowing, swimming, water polo, tennis and dance. Our Cadet program continues to grow, offering leadership opportunities in a co-ed environment. We will aim high in providing programs and facilities for girls of all abilities.
At St Catherine’s, we are proud of the pastoral and academic care programs for both day and boarding girls. Our activities are designed to build confidence, resilience and self-efficacy in girls from Kindy to Year 12. We encourage girls to find their voice and have the courage and awareness to use it appropriately. Continuous review of student involvement in the school community will ensure ongoing improvement and effectiveness, supporting students to thrive.
