​​​Why Choose St Catherine's?

Thank you for visiting our site. I'm delighted to share with you why we believe St Catherine's, Australia’s oldest independ​ent Anglican girls’ school, is the best choice for your daughter.

Our purpose is to develop young women of character and intellect who are equipped to make their unique contribution to the world. We offer an exceptional education to students from Kindergarten to Year 12 and boarding for Years 7 to 12.

Learning at St Catherine's

We educate girls like yours who will shape our future world.

Our teachers embrace the latest educational research balancing clear instruction with engagement. They help each girl to learn in the way that is right for her, giving her the academic rigour she needs and the tools she can use to flourish at school. When she leaves, we want her to be well educated, well rounded and well balanced – ready for further study, ready for life.

Not every girl learns in the same way.

At St Catherine's we believe all our girls have unique potential and we work hard to ensure your daughter finds hers. Our specialist teachers are there to support and enrich your daughter's learning path.

Global Enrichment

When your daughter attends St Catherine's she will have the opportunity to take up immersive language exchanges, service and cultural tours.

Through our global enrichment program, we give students the opportunity to gain an understanding of international issues and to discover diverse cultures. Studying language and culture at school and then boosting this with an exchange or course-specific tour prepares your daughter for a global future.

Why is a service education so important?

Service is one of our key values and unpinned by our other key values of integrity, respect, resilience and relationships. By serving others our girls receive a powerful education about the world, the voice they have in it, the power they have to shape it.

Our Spirit shines through

We have seven houses at St Catherine's, each with its own vibrant colour.

Our houses form a rainbow of friendship and camaraderie. Your daughter's house at school will become her own smaller community of support and collaboration. It will be her house from junior to senior school and this sense of belonging will buoy her throughout her school years.
