The school was setup in 1953 by La Sainte Union (Holy Union) sisters as a convent school.
In its creation, the sisters aim was to further the mission of their own founder, Father Jean Debrabant.
In a world where children are influenced by television, films, advertisements and other pressures of modern life, we aim to provide a rich soil in which children can grow spiritually and be supported in their religious faith. In partnership with parents, we support them in the development of moral principles by which they can lead their lives. We want to guide them on their faith-path as well as developing every other aspect of themselves.
This is the content in which St. Catherine's School was founded. It has a clear mission to offer a spiritual basis for the best possible education available to girls and young women.
It is they who will be the educators of tomorrow. St. Catherine of Siena is our patron saint. She is a marvelous role model for young women. Her life was a spiritual search and filled with love of God which manifested itself in love for her fellow human beings. She was in turn nurse, advocate, peacemaker, politician, writer and educator. In each of these spheres she excelled. In everything she did, she was motivated by her mission to do God's will and most especially, to work against the social evils which she saw around her. However, in this task, she always saw her role as an active one where she had to work in the world on the world's terms. We want our students also to be active in the way they live their faith and work with and for others. |
