St Catherine’s School Council is the governing body determining our School vision, strategic direction, resources, compliance and finance for operations and development.

Through Council meetings and sub-committees, St Catherine’s School Council directs and encourages the growth of our School and the continual pursuit of excellence in the academic, co-curricular and wellbeing programs for our students.

Consisting of both current and past parents, as well as representatives from the St Catherine’s School Old Girls Association, the Anglican and Uniting Churches, our School Council is an integral component of the long term success of our School.
