St Catherine’s Convent offers education from Grade 0oo to Grade 12. St Catherine’s Convent we acknowledge that a solid academic framework is an integral part of a successful future. We do, however, accept that not all learners are academically strong and we cater for, and understand, that each learner is unique in their own way. St Catherine’s Convent fosters the academically strong learner whilst ensuring that the creative learner is also encouraged and embraced.
St Catherine’s Convent School
Primary School
- St Catherine’s Convent Primary School is divided into the Foundation Phase and the Intermediate Phase. Although there are two phases in the Primary School, there is a flow of knowledge, expectations and expertise between these two phases.
- Each Phase is professionally led by its own Phase Director, who oversees the smooth running of that phase and liaises with the teachers of both her phase and the other phases within the school.
- This model of interaction is what enables the smooth transition of learners and learning between the different phases of the school, so creating a seamless and stress-free advancement in a learner’s educational experience.
High School
St Catherine’s Convent High School is divided into the GET (General Education and Training) and the FET (Further Education and Training) phases. We integrate Grade 7 into our High School as this is the first year in an important learning phase.

AFTERCARE GR 0 – 6
- St Catherine’s Convent offers an after-care service which has been successfully operating for almost 30 years. Our main aim is to create a safe and nurturing environment for those girls who are unable to be collected straight after school ends.
- The girls are divided into groups for optimal individual attention and structured supervision.
These groups are:
Grade 0 to Grade 3 and Grade 4 to Grade 6
Our programme begins with a light lunch in the dining room at 13h00 for Grades 0-2 and 13h30 for Grades 3-6. Homework begins at 14h00 for the juniors.
Homework is supervised and the children are encouraged to work on their homework individually at their own pace and are assisted wherever necessary by a qualified teacher.
Whilst we endeavour to complete homework activities each day, projects and assignments need extra attention and are to be completed at home. Parents are required to sign homework books every day.
GET DETAILS ON UNIVERSITY APPLICATION IN SA
When homework has been completed, the girls are encouraged to participate in other activities and games such as tennis, swimming on Fridays, DVD’s (these may be watched only if the girls wish) and other activities.
Extra reading and homework-related problem solving is done on a Friday afternoon. The girls are encouraged to be independent and interact with each other in a respectable and loving manner. After Care ends at 17h00. In the event of a parent not being able to collect their child by the said time, arrangements may be made by contacting the Aftercare Supervisor before 17:00.
STUDY GR 7 – 12
St Catherine’s Convent offers a free service for the high school learners by which girls who cannot be collected directly after school attend High School Study. It is a safe and nurturing environment where the girls are encouraged to complete homework or consult with a teacher on specific days for extra assistance.
Should you wish your daughter to have lunch, lunches can be arranged.
Whilst we endeavour to complete homework activities each day, projects and assignments need extra attention and are to be completed at home.
Study Period ends at 16:00.
Girls are discouraged from waiting outside the gate to be fetched and there is always someone on duty until 17h00 in the school grounds.
