Welcome to our one big family

'Education is not preperation for life; education is life itself.'

John Dewey

Welcome to our One Big Family – St. Catherine’s High School. Established in 1909, St. Catherine’s High School is a family-run, private independent co-educational School located in Pembroke, Malta. It is founded on Catholic principles and run by lay staff under the direction of the Head of School, Ms Sue Midolo, great grand daughter of the founder, Dott. Enrico Cortis.

The School hosts over 700 students and is open to local and foreign students, boys and girls, journeying from the Flutterby Child Care Centre (Child Care and KE1 – 2- 4 year olds) through to the Pre Junior Year (4-5 year olds), then to the Junior School (Junior 1 to 6 – 5 years to 10 year olds) and finally to the Senior School (Senior 1 to 5 – 11 to 16 year olds) up to the standard required for the Secondary Education Certificate (SEC).

This interface is aimed at providing you with all the necessary information about our School, its ethos and the everyday life of our students and staff. We are confident that it will render a true picture of the good teaching and learning practices that the educational journey at our School promotes and provides. We also hope that this will be a space where we can celebrate the milestones, creative and academic, achieved by our students throughout their educational adventure here at School.

Dear Ms Sue, It was just a small thought. Through our ups and downs you were the people who helped me shape out my daughter's character and most importantly her future. I can very well relate with the saying that you need a community to raise a child and if it wasn't for you all this wouldn't be possible. Once again I thank you and congratulations

Now that the concerts are over, we wanted to take a moment to share our heartfelt thanks with all of you, for all of the amazing work which you put in - both during the performances, but also in the days and weeks leading up to them. As parents, it was an emotional moment for both of us to see our boys up on stage with the rest of their friends, and I honestly wasn't expecting to be moved as much as I was. As you are all aware, we were quite hesitant at the beginning for them to participate, as we worried that the experience might be a little overwhelming for them. Thank you so much for persisting with us, for talking us through the process, and for making all the necessary accommodations for our boys to be able to stand on stage proudly along with everyone else in their classes - for turning race cars into spaceships, finding rocking horses, and for supporting them to have their own special moments in the spotlight. Every effort, big and small, did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. We are very blessed for our boys to be part of this wonderful and inclusive school community. Thank you.
