Welcome - Tēnā Koutou Katoa 

Nau Mai, Haere Mai

St Catherine's College is nestled in the hill above Kilbirnie, Wellington, New Zealand.

We are only 5 mins away from the Wellington International Airport, 15 mins to Wellington CBD and lots of beach surroundings.

The size of the school contributes to a family atmosphere, creating a strong sense of belonging and community amongst students.Girls are educated through the vision of Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy in 1950, and in Catholic social teachings that underpin the Special Character of the college. Students at all year levels have opportunities to be of service and/or act for justice.

 

 

Our philosophy and aim are expressed in our motto, Mercy and Wisdom. 

It has often been said that the lives of human beings are directed and shared by what they believe, what they know and what they value. 

Our students consistently achieve well above the national average in all national qualifications and we provide enrichment programmes that met the needs of each student. We are committed to treating each young woman as an individual, supporting and nurturing her gifts and talents so that she leaves us as a well-rounded woman of Mercy.

At St Catherine’s College, we provide many opportunities for student participation and success in a wide range of co-curricular activities, both sporting and cultural.

The ideal St Catherine’s College Graduate is a compassionate and confident young woman who is prepared for an ever-changing world.

International Students are most welcome at St Catherine's College as part of our mission to provide a quality Catholic education for girls. They are an asset in our College Community enhancing our multicultural education and Special Character.

 

What We Do is what we Believe.
