Supporting our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island girls
"Education is the key to reconciliation because it’s hard to achieve any measure of equity or self worth, any sense of belonging in the real economy, without education. And then there’s the aspect of education that promotes reconciliation among non-Indigenous Australians, the young and also the wider adult community, its decision makers and those who might contribute to the process in their work, their relationships and their local communities."

St Catherine’s School has a long history of educating young women from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities. Currently, 18 Indigenous students from across Australia are provided some form of financial assistance.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island girls on our scholarships greatly enrich the cultural fabric of St Cath's, and they have gone on to achieve great things for themselves, their school, and their communities.
The Foundation with the assistance of our school community seeks to raise funds to ensure the continued financial support of our girls well into the future.
We are asking for your assistance as we grow the Indigenous Scholarship Fund in perpetuity – With your financial help we aim to provide the foundations and education for these exceptional girls.
