There is a buzz of excitement in the air at St Catherine’s Catholic College, with 670 students welcomed this week, filling hallways and classrooms as the new school year gets underway.
Focused on striving for each individual child’s own excellence, St Catherine’s offers students from Kindy to Year 12 a broad spectrum of opportunities from cultural, sporting, and academic activities both within and beyond the classroom.
Celebrating students’ success includes their Year 12’s latest results, with one student topping the class with a final ATAR score of 98.55.
A total of 20 per cent of the 2022 graduating class who sat for their ATAR received an above 90 score, with 48 per cent receiving above 80.
Of course, these outstanding results could not be possible without an expert and dedicated teaching team from Prep to Year 12.
Among the staff at St Catherine’s there are numerous role holders with QCAA, professional awardees and high-level athletes.
Each staff member, no matter their role and experience, works to foster a sense of belonging and in students at St Catherine’s, contributing to an enjoyable education and strong friendships with their peers.

A terrific example of this is the College’s 2023 musical ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
Students’ singing, dancing and acting talents will shine on stage in April, with the community encouraged to go along and support them. Keep an eye out for ticket information as the months draw closer.
