St Catherine's School

On this day 129 years ago, Miss Jeanie Hood opened the doors to Castlemaine Ladies’ College on Templeton Street, Castlemaine. Since that moment, St Catherine’s School has blossomed into a place of tradition and heart, with an undeniable sense of community.

Today, the Junior School came alive as we celebrated the Lunar New Year with our annual dragon performance! 🐉 We wish our St Catherine’s Community a prosperous and joyful Year of the Snake 🐍

It was a day filled with excitement (and a few nerves!) as our new Year 7 cohort stepped into Senior School for the very first time. We also welcomed new students in Years 8, 9 & 10🎒 We can’t wait to see what the year holds for them! 💫

We are excited to kick off the new year by welcoming our new Teaching and Learning staff to St Catherine’s! They are eager to meet our St Catherine’s girls, and we look forward to welcoming back all our students and staff next week as we commence the academic year for 2025.

Wishing our St Catherine's Community a very Merry Christmas!🎄 We hope you are all enjoying a well-deserved break filled with joy and relaxation, and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2025.
