Years 11 and 12
While the academic focus may narrow to fewer studied subjects, the complexity of what is undertaken and the way each student approaches her learning expands, positioning each girl for the world beyond School. A broad range of VCE studies allows students to draw aptly and meaningfully from what is on offer.
In the Senior years, leadership potential is realised, initiative and intellectual curiosity are met more fully, and collaborative and supportive learning with St Catherine's staff takes on a stronger one-on-one focus.
Collegiality and civic responsibility, celebration of diverse cultures both within and beyond our communities and the role of self-actualisation in achieving student tertiary goals are acknowledged aspects of these years.
