EOWA Employer of Choice - St Catherine's School

A group of 20 Senior School students will be journeying to China later this year where they plan to work on community projects. To fund their building work they are holding a series of fundraising activities in the School. The first of these, this year, was a Valentine's Day cake stall. Chocolate cake, pink icing and shortbread hearts raised $585. Thank you!

News: EOWA Employer of Choice

Published: 11/05/2009

We are very pleased to announce that St Catherine’s School has achieved a 2009 EOWA Employer of Choice for Women (EOCFW) citation. The Employer of Choice for Women citation is a prestigious acknowledgment by the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA) of organisations that are recognising and advancing women in the workplace.

St Catherine’s is one of only three schools in NSW to receive this recognition in 2009.

Organisations that receive the Employer of Choice citation focus on strategies and practices that will enable them to attract and retain female employees. They focus on issues in recruitment and selection; promotions and transfers; training and development; work organization; and conditions of service. They support returning to work from maternity leave and whenever it occurs in a workplace, address sex-based harassment.

St Catherine’s is committed to providing equal opportunity for women in its workplace . In addition to operating as a workplace of best practice, as a girls’ school, St Catherine’s seeks to provide students with positive female role models and to demonstrate the absolute necessity of maximising the skills, talents, attributes and capacities of women in our workplace.
