St Catherine's School

The teachers have trouble explaining the effects bullying to students, which usually worsens the situations of the students who really need help.

An amazing educational experience both for our daughter and as parents. Very welcoming, great parent alumni, super alumni group and spent many happy years here - cant wait to have grand daughters!

Such an inspirational school. Especially when the principal slid down the stairs with speedos on.

This is an amazing school, great teachers, many awesome experiences, enroll your daughters at this school if considering moving

Beautiful school with great facilities, girls and teachers. Everyone is so nice and caring here. Send your children here you won't regret.

St. Catherine is an outstanding school, and it does to empower its students and strengthen its teachers.
It is a place where children learn enough worthwhile things to make a healthy start in life, where a framework is laid that supports later learning, and children develop the desire to learn more.

It mirrors the realities of life in an ordered, adult society; it is rational and safe, a practice ground for the things people do in the outside world. The school creates a sense of community that permits personal expression within a framework of social responsibility. It focuses on learnings that grow through use-with or without more schooling-such as communication skills, decision making, craftsmanship, and group interaction. It makes children think of themselves as people who find strength, nourishment, and joy in learning.

It does take into consideration problem-solving abilities, social skills, and complex academic skills. It does differentiate between dynamic and inert knowledge; it ignores motivation.

It has a broad-based and realistic curriculum with subject matter chosen not only for its relevance to higher education and jobs but also for family and community membership and personal enrichment. It uses teaching practices that simulate the way people live in the outside world. Children are actively involved in productive tasks that combine and extend their skills. They initiate projects, make their own decisions, enjoy using their skills, show off their accomplishments, and look for more challenging, more exciting work to do.

The teachers ask much less. St Catherine's students are initiators, seekers, thinkers, and builders.

St Catherine's teachers have made the connections to life in the outside world that we have been talking about. St Catherine operates as an organic entity—not a machine—always moving to expand its essential nature rather than tackling artificial appendages. It is like a healthy tree. As it grows, it sinks its roots deep into its native soil: it adapts to the surrounding climate and vegetation; its branches thicken for support and spread for maximum exposure to the sun: it makes its food; it heals its wounds; and, in its season, it puts forth fresh leaves, blossoms, and fruit.

Most Australian schools have an obsession with test scores and their power to determine the fate of children and teachers.

Best school for girls. Experienced Teachers and good facilities. Enrollment process was very easy and they treated us very nicely.

Wonderful nurturing school with insightful and hardworking teachers who know every student in their care and brilliant STEM program not to mention the excellent facilities all round

I noticed in all the comments.
Those who went to the school rate it high.
Those who rate it low didn't even go to the school.
So, go figure.
Yes, my daughter wears a blue ribbon and yes I am commenting to boost up the average, since the average score doesn't reflect the fact. And because we love the school.
