Our college is situated on the grounds of The University of Western Australia and has rooms and facilities for up to 140 women who are studying at Tertiary level, though you don't have to be enrolled specifically at U.W.A. to be a resident. The first impression you get upon entering St Catherine's College is the friendly, home-like atmosphere. As a resident you will find that you can be involved in a thriving, dynamic community enjoying the use of the great facilities on hand. The active participants can enjoy dancing , drama, sport , music and outdoor activities or just the conversation of stimulating company. When quieter moments are needed for study, contemplation or a private moment, residents can take advantage of the Library , the tutorial rooms or the privacy of their own rooms .
Academic assistance is given by residential tutors who also act in a pastoral role for residents.
Their expertise and advice can greatly enhance your ability to get the most out of University. Facilities for more specialised activities include two Music Practice Rooms , a Computer Room and a Tutorial Room. A Swimming pool , Recreation room and a Video room are available for relaxation. St Catherine's retains its status as a residential college for women only because residents prefer the supportive, family-like atmosphere that this generates. We feel that if you become a resident you will be able to get the most out of University life in both the pursuit of your studies and personal development.
