Co-operation and caring for others are encouraged. In Year 10 students are helped to make intelligent choices in their studies. A new science facility featuring an electronics laboratory and satellite imaging program was recently opened. Career counselling, which begins in primary school, is particularly important for these years and includes the opportunity for Work Experience. Boarding House Boarders at St. Catherine's School are accommodated in two houses under the care of experienced staff.
Boarders play an important part in school life.
They have made an outstanding contribution in sport, as leaders and through academic achievement. With approximately 70 boarders the atmosphere is a friendly one with family-like qualities. School Government Students are encouraged to participate in the organisation of the school, to develop a sense of community repsonsibility and to take leadership roles. The General Committee, chaired by the Captain of the School, is the senior student advisory committee. The Middle School and Junior School also have advisory committees of students.
