The
first building was erected on property purchased from Simmer and
Jack near Rose Deep Mine, in Hardach Street. In a short time boys and girls
were attending school from primary level to matric. Many of the old
Germiston families have had generations of children at St
Catherine's.
With
the industrialisation of the original section of Germiston, and the
movement of the urban population to the south and north of the town,
St Catherine's Convent relocated in 1948 to the attractive suburb of
In
1968, the Convent decided, in conjunction with St Dominic's,
Boksburg, to cater for primary pupils only - girls up to Grade 7 and
boys up to Grade 3. In 1986, boys were again admitted up to Grade 7.
In
1991, the Sisters of St Catherine's moved into a private house. New
classrooms and toilet facilities for a fast-developing school were
created in what used to be the Sisters’ living quarters. It
had long been the desire of the Board of Governors and many parents
to re-open the High School and from January 2001, the first Grade 8s
since 1968 were admitted to St Catherine's. From November 2003 to
March 2004 the new wing was under construction. This wing comprises
two new classrooms and a new Science laboratory. In 2005 the
school’s first matrics since 1968 took to their classrooms. St
Catherine's has always extended peace and harmony to all nations and
creeds. It is a place for pupils, teachers and parents to chat,
laugh, cry and pray together. St Catherine's has always been seen
as more of a 'home-away-from-home' than a school.
