‘Love of learning and personal fulfilment in a Catholic community'
The school is under the patronage of St. Catherine of Siena. She is a role model for our students, in that she used her spiritual strength to support her work in the world as carer, communicator, diplomat, peacemaker and writer. Above all, she had a highly developed prayer-life. This balance between spiritual and social development is what we aim to give our students.
