STARTING WITH THE LITTLEST LEARNERS
At St Catherine’s Convent we believe that the basis for successful learning is laid early on in a school career and we have dedicated and expert teachers who welcome and lead our littlest learners. The sense of fun and achievement in learning that is instilled in our Foundation Phase creates a confident and capable learner for whom school is an adventure to be embraced each day.

In addition to the external Grade 12 examinations, learners in Grades 3, 6 and 9 write International Benchmark examinations to ensure that the standard of education offered to our girls is of an excellent standard throughout their schooling. Schools in countries such as Australia, China, Denmark, Britain and the USA write these International Benchmark examinations. St Catherine’s Convent Subjects Offered

EDUCATORS
Educators regularly attend both regional and national subject conferences to ensure that their knowledge is up to date and to enable every educator to deliver quality education.
St Catherine’s Convent also participates in the IEB Cluster groups, which are regular meetings where groups of educators from different schools come together to standardise their assessment levels and to share resources.
This ensures that all the academic work done, particularly in Grade 12 is of the correct standard.

Olympiads
OLYMPIADS
The English Olympiad is written in the first term and a large number of learners volunteer to write this Olympiad. We achieve excellent results and have had learners who have placed in the top 10, top 50 and top 100 out of nearly 4 000 candidates nationwide. The Mathematics Olympiad is written in three stages. Certain marks have to be obtained by learners in each stage to enable them to compete further. Learners are encouraged to work through past papers, as this will definitely help them improve their mathematical problem solving skills and strategies. They can obtain papers with solutions on the following web site www.samf.ac.za. The World Knowledge Olympiad is a general knowledge Olympiad that tests a learner’s overall knowledge.
