A very warm welcome back to the 2017 school year in particular I welcome new students to St Catherine’s Catholic College, those beginning their primary journey and other students who have joined us in different year levels. As year 12 students commence their final year at St Catherine’s we wish them every success in their studies. You and your families are most welcome to the St Catherine’s community. I trust everyone had the opportunity to rest and recharge over the summer holidays I also hope you had the opportunity to reflect upon the deeper message of Christmas.
