Since its establishment in 1856 as a Boarding School for the Daughters of Clergy, St Catherine's School has been supporting the education of the daughters of country families. These Scholarships are for students joining St Catherine's School as boarders and reflect our commitment to providing outstanding educational opportunities for girls from rural areas.

The Scholarships cover tuition fees for the years of secondary education; however, boarding fees are the responsibility of the family. Scholarships usually provide full remission of tuition fees to the end of Year 12, but under some circumstances may be awarded for part remission of fees. It is a condition of the scholarship that the recipient remains a boarder for the duration of her time at St Catherine’s. Scholarship holders are expected to contribute fully to the life of the School, maintaining excellent standards of behaviour and a high level of commitment to their studies.

Students applying for entry to Year 7 should sit the Academic Scholarship for Entry at Year 7. Students applying for a scholarship for entry to other years should sit our Profile Examination. Both examinations will be held at St Catherine's School on Monday 29 March 2010.

Scholarships are awarded based on the Scholarship or Profile Examination results and on the applicant's potential to contribute to the St Catherine's School community. The financial situation of applicants will also be taken into account. Please supply to the School the details and documentary evidence that you consider will assist the Scholarship Committee in making an assessment of your financial situation. It should include a statement from your accountant about your financial position and/or your last tax assessments. This may be done prior to the Examinations.
