St Catherine's School, Sydney

We offer a comprehensive academic care program that draws heavily on the principles of positive psychology. We work to develop each girl’s sense of self-efficacy and develop the character traits that enable this, such as hard work, self-control, grit and adaptive thinking. Complementing this is our service education program, which helps girls to see how they can make a difference to their local and global community.

We very much encourage our girls to see themselves as global citizens. We offer six languages – European, Asian and Classical and encourage every girl to study at least one to HSC level. With many opportunities for international visits and exchanges, we encourage girls to develop their cultural and global competencies by getting out into the world and experiencing its beauty and challenges. And every girl from Year 5 has a tablet computer, giving her access to a world of resources and contacts.7
