St Catherine’s School’s 2024 Autumn Edition of St Catherine’s News is now available for digital download.

This Edition celebrates the exemplary academic achievements of our Class of 2023 along with the outstanding teaching and learning programs our School provides students, from the Early Learning Centre through to Year 12.

Weaved throughout the pages of St Catherine’s News are stories celebrating the enormous value a St Catherine’s education provides to young girls and emerging female leaders. As articulated by Rob Marshall, in his article  “It is no accident our exemplary academic results in recent years have been the highest on record at our School. These results are because we have a tightly connected community where the care of individuals is paramount.”

Feature articles include:

• Future Focused – the benefits of St Catherine’s Teaching and Learning Framework, Mrs Ceri Lloyd, Deputy Principal – Head of Senior School
• A Bright Future – our Class of 2023 achieved remarkable VCE results, with a median ATAR of 93.4
• Shaping their Trajectory – how Early Learning shapes the academic and personal development of children – Ms Sarah Bethune, Head of Early Learning
• Beginning in Barbreck – strong foundations in the Junior School create optimum results in the Senior School – Ms Karen McArdle, Head of Junior School
• The Direction of Student Care – outstanding academic achievement is intertwined with a culture of academic care – Directors of Middle and Senior Years
• The Critical Conversation – Fostering critical thinking and collaborative inquiry in Year 9 and beyond – Mr Paul Gilby, Head of Humanities, Project Lead – Critical Conversations

The Autumn Edition also celebrates the outstanding contribution and lives of three remarkable St Catherine’s women, Mrs Sue Collister, Dr Sylvia Walton AO, and Miss Anne Smith.
