Our School has a wonderful history and many stories that our community are deeply connected to. As we celebrate our 125 Year Anniversary, each week we invite you to step back in time through some of the many stories that make up the life at St Catherine’s.
Stories from the archives – 1942 – Reflecting on Warburton
“On the 10 March 1942 the Second World War arrived at St Catherine’s School with notice the campus was needed as a Medical Rehabilitation Unit for the RAAF. After a final assembly and a week of packing the 280 students and staff walked to Heyington Station and made the three hour train journey to the Chalet in Warburton where St Catherine’s School transformed from a predominately day school in the city into a country boarding school. For the girls of Warburton it was a time of adventure.”
