It has been a term like no other for St Catherine’s Catholic College with students, staff, families, and alumni coming together to mark a century of Catholic education in the region.
The College’s Centenary celebrations were the highlight of the term, drawing hundreds of people back to the school grounds to reminisce, reconnect, and celebrate the community that has flourished over the past 100 years. From moving liturgies to joyful reunions, the celebrations captured the proud history of the College while looking confidently toward the future.
Principal Katherine Nelson said the milestone created memories that would last a lifetime.
“Reaching 100 years is a remarkable achievement for our College and our community,” she said.
“It was inspiring to see so many generations come together to share stories, honour our traditions, and celebrate all that makes St Catherine’s so special. We are incredibly proud of where we’ve come from and very excited for what lies ahead. ”
Alongside the centenary, students and staff also enjoyed a vibrant and busy term filled with opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun.
