The Campaign for St Catherine's
Capital Campaigns are conducted to raise money for specific buildings and projects which have been identified by the School Council as essential for the further enhancement of the educational opportunities at the School. The Campaign for St Catherine's, Stage 1 has been the Sports and Aquatic Centre.
Stage One: Our Sports and Aquatic Centre
The Marigold Southey centre: The Sports and Aquatic Centre provides our students with indoor and outdoor sports facilities, a 25 metre pool with six lanes sized for squad training, a learners' pool, 1 metre diving board, training room, a flexible classroom for health and physical education, a sick bay and spectator seating for 250, together with offices for sports and aquatic staff.
Our all-weather Sports Field enables tennis, netball and basketball, training for soccer, hockey and athletics, just to name a few of the more than 20 sports which our School offers. Landscaping to the surrounding outdoor areas and underground car parking also formed part of this exciting project.
As a School we are strongly committed to environmental sustainability and this Centre includes:
- A co-generation plant which allows the School to produce its own electricity to run the pool,
- A 500,000-litre water tank which provides water for backwashing the pools and irrigating the surrounding trees and gardens,
- Double glazing, and
- Glass walls and glass panels in the ceiling for maximum light.
Gifts, whether pledges or single donations, are directed to the St Catherine's School Building Fund and are tax deductible. Please click here for a copy of the Gift Form.
