VISITOR MORNINGS
We would like to invite you to visit our school!
Come and experience what St Catherine’s School has to offer!
St Catherine’s School is an Independent Catholic Co-Ed School based on Johannesburg’s East Rand.
We offer a “home-away-from-home” environment, a place where academic excellence is celebrated and where potential is cherished and nurtured.
A word from the Head
We live in both exciting and challenging times and nowhere is this truer than in the field of education. St Catherine’s has served the local community for more than a century with distinction. The hallmarks of our offering include a deep sense of Christian purpose and a commitment to exceptional quality in the classroom and in the field of co-curricular activity.
The St Catherine's School Difference
Entrenched in History
Founded in 1908 by the Newcastle Dominican Sisters under the leadership of Mother Rose Niland, St Catherine’s was the first convent school on the East Rand and the first high school in Germiston.
Over a century after first opening our doors, St Catherine’s School is proud to be a thriving educational institution for the children of Germiston, and we look forward to many more years ahead.

Admissions
Our values determine how we instinctively behave. Having a deep-seated sense of right and wrong, and then doing the right thing regardless of who is watching, is what makes us people with integrity.
I truly believe that a child’s education should be a collage of happy experiences. St Catherine’s School provides a secure and nurturing environment for these experiences to take place, where our children can grow and flourish academically, culturally and spiritually. Our dedicated teachers pride themselves on helping the children develop into compassionate and responsible citizens of the future generation.
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” – Aristotle
Our early childhood programme is designed to nurture the development of the whole child by catering for their spiritual, academic and physical needs, within a family atmosphere. We instill positive school habits and attitudes which extend inside and outside of the classroom.
