St Catherine’s School strives to nurture a system based on Gospel values with Christ at the centre of our school and provide a Christian atmosphere where individuals may deepen their relationship with God.
Pre-School
St Catherine’s Pre-School offers a warm, caring environment in which we bring God’s love into teaching.
Our early childhood programme is designed to nurture the development of the whole child by catering for the spiritual, academic, physical while enveloping them with love. We instill positive school habits and attitudes that will extend inside and outside of the classroom.
Our teachers are all fully qualified Pre-School teachers and they participate in ongoing professional development activities and workshops to stay current with educational trends to adapt to the changing needs of modern children and families.
They set the stage for lifelong learning and encourage the development of positive social skills that children will master as they grow older.
