Our history
An education backed by years of experience and success
St. Catherine’s Nursery School was established in 1975 by Sister Nathalie, formerly from the Springs Convent of Our Lady of Mercy. It was originally a Catholic school but later became a multi-denominational school with Christian ethos.
Having served the Springs community for over 45 years, St. Catherine’s has become renown for being one of the most well-equipped pre-schools in the area.
We cater for the ever-changing needs of our young students, offering those who entrust their children in our care, the highest standard of education and commitment to growth and development.
A Message From
Our Principal
On behalf of St. Catherine’s Nursery School, allow me to extend our warmest welcome to you, our past, present, and future, parents and students of our beloved school.
My name is Sue Ramos and I have been with St. Catherine’s Nursery School since 1995. In 2011 I had the honour of being appointed as the school’s principal.
My immense interest in teaching was apparent from a very young age, as I come from a family of teachers, my mom, my two sisters and my husband all follow the teaching profession.
Throughout my life I’ve always had great role models who further shaped my love for teaching in my former years. I studied at JCE and in 1983 I completed my Bachelor of B. Prim. Ed.
I have always had a passion for teaching the young minds of South Africa. To be able to look at each little young mind as an individual and to assist in growing and developing them into the best person they can be is extremely rewarding.
St. Catherine’s has always held a special place in my heart as both my daughters joyfully attended the school.
Our little school has always held family as the center of growth for young children. It is therefore through the strong relationships that we foster with our parents that we can grow and develop together into a formidable educational facility within our community.
I have always had an open-door policy and no problem, however big or small it may seem, we believe that we can work together to find the solution.
Enjoy your time with us as you watch your child blossom.

What our parents are saying
“We have very fond memories of the three years our son spent at St. Catherine’s Nursery School. He still remembers how he loved ‘baking’ on a Friday, birthday rings when celebrating someone’s birthday, playing in the playground, and the educational shows that the children absolutely loved!
Nathan was well prepared for Grade 1, and still remembers his ‘first school’ and the teachers who taught and guided him every day.
Thank you St. Catherine’s!”
“Our son Paul attended this wonderful school back in 1989.
The school gave Paul a great foundation for his future scholastic achievements. More importantly Paul is still in contact with his friends from this nursery school namely Louis and Trent. Trent was a groomsman at his wedding.
We all have very loving and fond memories of the school.
Our best wishes to all the dedicated and hard working staff of St. Catherine’s “
“Both of our children had the privilege of being part of St. Catherine’s Nursery School.
We welcomed and encouraged to become an active part of the St. Catherines family, where not only our children forged lifelong friendships but so did we, as parents.
Our children have gone on to excel both academically and on the sports fields and this can be directly attributed to the solid foundation that was laid in their formative education at St. Catherine’s.”
