Applications & Admissions

Applications are open for children from 2 years old (turning 3) through to 6 years old. Admission is subject to an interview, after which placement will be offered based on suitability and availability. For more information about our admissions process, please contact our school office.

Assessment & Reports

Children are continuously assessed throughout the year through careful observation of their development, progress and individual needs. These ongoing assessments allow our teachers to monitor each child’s growth across all areas of learning and development. Parents receive two comprehensive written reports each year, issued at the end of the 2nd and 4th terms, providing an overview of their child’s progress and achievements.

Birthday Rings

Birthdays are a special time at St. Catherine’s, and we love making each child feel celebrated! Birthday children enjoy a special birthday ring with their classmates, receive a birthday crown and a personalised booklet filled with drawings from their friends. Children are also welcome to wear civvies on their birthday. Parents will receive photographs of their child enjoying their birthday ring, so they can share in these special moments too.

Spiritual Development

St. Catherine’s nurtures a Christian way of life through daily prayer, grace before meals, Bible stories and songs, and a special prayer at the end of each day.

Social Development

The nursery school environment provides the best possible place for social development to occur. Children learn to share and co-operate with their peers. They also learn to communicate their needs, wants and desires, and to interact with staff and other adults.

Intellectual Development

The children are taught facts and knowledge through theme discussions, self-discovery, pictures, models, examples and educational shows.

Emotional Development

Positive self-esteem is one of the keys to healthy emotional development. Your child is encouraged to express themselves and to develop their God-given talents. Praise, encouragement and love, all contribute to your child’s image of themselves. The structure and routine of the school day also provides a strong sense of security for the child.

Physical Development

We place a strong emphasis on developing children’s gross and fine motor skills through a variety of engaging activities. These include climbing and balancing, tricycles and scooters, as well as lacing, threading, weaving, play-dough, cutting, colouring and construction activities.

Admissions for 2027 are now open!

We’re just as excited as you are and we can’t wait to meet your little one as they begin their educational journey in 2027 with us!

We're processing admissions for young learners age 2 - 6 yrs
