Far North Queensland  

“Our School is all about community and connection, and our amazing experience in Far North Queensland brought this to life in the most meaningful way. From exploring the Daintree Rainforest, to camping in the tropics of Fitzroy Island, we had the opportunity to build connections with each other and the land. Our eight days were filled with many sweet moments, from braiding each other’s hair, swimming with the delightful turtles, and playing games around the campfire, Year 9 Camp was packed with memories to last a lifetime!” Saskia Gelbak  

Elective Program 

“For the first time in Year 9, we have been able to enjoy new and diverse subjects which lead to pathways we are passionate about through our subject selections.  For me, classes like Literature have assisted me with my History and English work, and Philosophy has helped me deepen my knowledge and debating and reasoning skills. I have enjoyed continuing Japanese which I wish to continue throughout VCE. Overall, I have relished the opportunity to learn and develop my knowledge. ” Polly Moir  

Jazz Night 

“I love being involved in Jazz Night, performing in multiple groups and as a soloist. It has always been such a pleasure to take part in such a friendly, but formal event. This year, I took part in four groups: our choirs, Viva Voci and Vox, the one and only Jazz Band, and Soul Band.  I am so grateful that St Catherine’s holds Jazz Night as it is so nice to see both old and modern jazz played and respected in this generation.” Olivia Grasso  

Global Programs Exchange 

“My highlight of Year 9 was my exchange to St Catherine’s, Bramley in the UK.  It helped me to get out of my comfort zone and try new foods, a new school, and culture. Hosting my exchange sister was amazing and I saw Melbourne from a new perspective. We hosted an Exchange High Tea with the whole Cohort which made everyone so much closer. Every aspect of the Exchange was so exciting and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to do it.” Clara Calvert
