Supporting our Indigenous 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."

To continue our mission of providing education to Indigenous girls from across Australia, we are asking for your assistance as we grow the Indigenous Scholarship fund – providing financial support for girls who, without such assistance, would not be able to attend St Catherine's School.
Help us to build a sustainable future for our Indigenous girls, by assisting in building our fund in perpetuity.
