ANNUAL GIVING 2022 Her Chance
From the Principal and Chair of Foundation Over the past two years St Catherine’s strong and caring philanthropic community again united to show kindness through giving, raising funds that directly nurtured and empowered our students and their families during the challenges of the global pandemic. St Catherine’s School’s Scholarship Program has a profound and very personal impact on the lives of our students. In return, our scholarship students enrich our School community and make a valuable contribution to our School. We reach out to you now, in the hope you will continue to support St Catherine’s School and the philanthropic work of the School Foundation to enhance the educational opportunities of our students, and emerging young women across Australia through our 2022 Annual Giving campaign. Through your generous gifts, however big or small, the educational experiences of current and future St Catherine’s students are enhanced.

HER FUTURE Hardship Fund
Established in 2020, the Hardship Fund enables St Catherine’s to assist families facing changes in their financial circumstances, as well as new families who would otherwise not be able to send their daughters to St Catherine’s, due to financial difficulty. Over the past two years more than 250 donors have supported the Hardship Fund, allowing St Catherine’s to provide uninterrupted education for many students whose families were facing hardship. Continued support of the Hardship Fund will ensure our School community can continue to support each other with kindness during times of crisis.
