Our history is filled with the enduring legacies of strong, resilient and independent young women, educated, encouraged and equipped to step into the world prepared and confident.

St Catherine’s Towards 2025 Strategic Plan, moves our School into the next chapter of its history, guiding and focussing our planning across the next five years.

Our role in today’s educational setting is to develop girls for a very different world from when St Catherine’s was founded. Today, young women are on a path of continuous growth and learning, where they must be agile, adaptable, creative and resilient in all that they do.

As a School Council we are committed to providing the finest possible facilities and programs to enrich the education and wellbeing of our students. We are proud to deliver future focused learning environments – encompassing advances in digital learning, pedagogical innovation and strong alumnae and community networks. Towards 2025 every young woman at St Catherine’s has the opportunity to be bold, to inquire, to question, to learn and to contribute.

Our School Values, along with our outstanding academic and wellbeing programs, underpin our commitment to support, develop and empower our students to step outside their comfort zones and into their own unique space; where they believe in themselves and realise their potential.

Through our Values, students develop empathy to choose kindness and have the courage to care; perseverance to persist with purpose; curiosity to wonder, question and discover; gratitude to express appreciation and integrity to act responsibly and with good character.

Together, as a School community we guide our young women through their educational journeys. We empower the next generation of St Catherine’s women to be fearless in all that they pursue, to lead enriched and rewarding lives and contribute to those around them.

Since 1896 and beyond 2025, St Catherine’s provides opportunities for every young woman to find her voice.
