Siena Society holds inaugural lecture with renowned explorer, Fran Sandham, on Thursday March 10th.

A new St Catherine's venture, the Siena Society-whose ambition is to expose our students to a wealth of varied and exciting speakers- is delighted to invite Fran Sandham (explorer and writer) to present our inaugural lecture. On Thursday, March 10th at 4pm in the Drama Studio, Fran will recount some of the experiences he encountered on his epic, solo walk from the Skeleton Coast in Namibia to Zanzibar in Mozambique. No one else has ever walked across this notoriously barren and unforgiving stretch of wilderness (some 3000 miles) and this talk promises to be truly awe-inspiring.

St Catherine's students to attend Festival of Leadership at Wellington College

A group of 4 senior girls selected from Years 11 and 12 will attend a pupil-led conference on leadership at Wellington College on March 11th. The conference is open to students (Years 11-13) from any school in the country and offers the unique opportunity for participants to re-think what it means to lead others.
A rich and diverse programme, including workshops run by students from Wellington, KCS Wimbledon  and Dulwich College, will allow our pupils to evaluate themselves as leaders, and there will be plenty of opportunities for them  to meet students from other schools to discuss the values that real leadership entails.
