Stories From the Archives – 1993 – Science can be fun and feminine

Our School’s incredible history has many wonderful stories that our community are deeply connected to. This year as we celebrate our 125th Year Anniversary, we invite you each week to step back in time through some of the many stories that make up the life at St Catherine’s School.

Science can be fun and feminine

“To compete in today’s world we must have some understanding of Science.

An appreciation of Science also develops our ability to make informed rational judgments and to think critically and logically and enables us to understand better the major issues which confront us in our technologically based society.

Physical Sciences, in particular, have become a prerequisite for many tertiary courses. Students must study them if they are not to be disadvantaged in the career market.

We invite you to read more about the history of encouraging girls at St Catherine’s to study Science, here.
