Academic challenge and academic care at
Australia’s oldest independent girls’ school
Boarding at St Catherine’s School Waverley offers a unique living environment where respect for others, tolerance, trust and responsibility are nurtured.
The school near Sydney’s eastern suburb beaches is a comprehensive day and boarding school for girls from Kindergarten to Year 12.
With 70 boarding places in a well-appointed homely environment, each girl enjoys the privacy of her own living space, outstanding school facilities and opportunities for sport, outings and cultural activities in a safe, supportive environment.
Striking characteristics of a St Catherine’s education are academic challenge and academic care.
Staff raise the academic bar to the right height for every girl. This is done with differentiating lessons, extension classes, mentoring of scholarship students, gifted and talented and comprehensive academic support programs.
The Sydney Morning Herald ranked St Catherine’s 44th in NSW in the 2010 HSC – an excellent result for a genuinely non-selective school.
Academic studies are complemented by strong co-curricular sport, music, performing arts and service education programs.
Established in 1856 St Catherine’s is Australia’s oldest Anglican girls’ school and welcomes girls from all religions and backgrounds.
