She is Strong

On Wednesday 9 August we were delighted to welcome Sports Centre donors who so generously supported our She is Strong fundraising project, to attend the formal opening of our newly refurbished St Catherine’s Sports Centre. We welcomed close to 300 guests at this special event including all Sports Centre donors and a large cohort of St Catherine’s Foundation Members.

Become a Member

Our Foundation is a society of bold and loyal donors daring to give our girls every chance to shine. 

At no other time than in this rapidly evolving and uncertain world has being a giving society mattered.

Each year, since 1996, we welcome new members to join us in the pursuit of the best possible facilities, equipment and programs for the young women responsible for our future. 

Income from tuition fees covers the operating and general costs only. Philanthropy supports innovation and builds infrastructure and program capacity in a distinct way. By becoming a member of our School Foundation, you will help transform the educational experience and lives of generations of young girls and women. 

Generous giving is an expression of love to our community

We support St Catherine’s School Foundation because we truly care. When giving is from our hearts, we are not only creating a bond, but also showing our appreciation. Generous giving is an expression of love to our community and members.” Andrew Huang & Angela Zhang

First Responders to the St Catherine’s Hardship Fund

Gillian and Paul are Jeanie Hood Society members who understand that a close community is a strong community, and believe that keeping the blue ribbon on St Catherine’s girls is at the very heart of their support to Hardship.

Generosity and giving are powerful messages that can quickly spread in a community.

We are just one of all the St Catherine’s parents who want similar things for their daughters and would be more than happy to contribute in any way they can, as part of the community. We are honoured to be part of that.

St Catherine’s Circle Member, Lisa Nicoll-Cooke

Women from my family have been attending St Catherine's for nearly one hundred years and I would like this sense of family connection to continue for other School families. I feel so strongly about family connection that I am willing to support this financially.

Learning From Participation and Generosity

We are really pleased to support the St Catherine’s Building Fund, in particular the development of the Blackbox Theatre, which will play a vital role in our girls’ School life. We intend to shape them to become women of the future.

Reducing the Urban and Rural Divide

We feel strongly about supporting other families, particularly from rural communities, who can add diversity to both the student and parent cohort and we recognised that joining the Foundation was the best way to enable this.
