At the heart of the St Catherine’s experience is the relationship between teacher and student.  

In 2021 we proudly implemented our Towards 2025 Strategic Plan to guide and inform our planning and focus over the next five years, including our commitment to enhancing the student experience through the engagement of exemplary staff, committed to girls’ education and wellbeing. 

The continued growth in our VCE and NAPLAN results over the past four years are indicative of this commitment and our exceptional teachers and rigorous educational programs. 

Three years ago, St Catherine’s commenced a partnership of professional learning for our teachers with the University of Queensland, to embed a Thinking Agenda for every girl, in every classroom. 

Our outstanding VCE results, and position as the top performing girls’ school in Victoria in 2021, are testament to this targeted program and the exceptional academic care our teachers provide to every student, particularly during the challenges of the COVID pandemic over the past two years.  

The articles published within our inaugural edition of The Thinking Agenda showcase this expertise, as well as the extraordinary level of care our educators place in every student.  

We hope you enjoy the 2021 edition, available to read via the flip book below or to view here.
