Find your own great.

Welcome to St Catherine's School Sydney

St Catherine’s School Sydney is Australia’s oldest Anglican girls’ school, offering a dynamic and supportive learning environment to help every student find their own great.

We welcome students from Kindergarten to Year 12, with boarders joining us from Year 7. We offer a vast academic curriculum complemented by strong cocurricular programs in sport, music, performing arts and service education.

St Catherine’s School Sydney is an academically non-selective school that consistently achieves excellent results. In 2022, we ranked 13th in the state in the HSC, with a median ATAR of 91.05 and a top ATAR of 99.9.

Boarding at St Catherine's School Sydney

A boarding school since 1856, we blend country friendliness with city living to provide students with a strongly supportive home away from home.

With only 66 places in the boarding house, every girl is known, nurtured and cared for by dedicated live-in staff. The boarding house is newly decorated in a fresh contemporary style and each girl has privacy for study and rest with single rooms available.

Boarding students are involved with many after-school activities and enjoy organised weekend outings in and around Sydney.

Located in the close-knit and safe suburb of Waverley, St Catherine’s offers boarding students the opportunity to experience the perfect Sydney living experience. The Eastern Suburbs campus is well located, just 5 minutes away from Bronte Beach and Centennial Parklands and less than 20 minutes from the CBD and Sydney Airport.

Boarding is central to school life and girls form deep bonds, becoming an extended group of like-minded ‘sisters’ who find support, guidance and friendship in each other. Their collective and positive attitude weaves into the wider school, making for a happy, connected community.
