Academic Excellence
St Catherine’s College fosters a thriving academic and intellectual culture, spearheaded by our comprehensive tutoring service that complement your university studies.
Free tutoring
We offer all residents an in-house academic service, with over 110 unit-specific tutorials every week, across all disciplines and year levels, led by experienced academic tutors.
Tutorials are offered on a request basis so if you are having trouble with a unit or want to excel, we can help. There are rarely more than five residents in a tutorial so you get dedicated one-on-one support to help you better understand your subject areas.
Academic dinners
Formal Hall
Faculty and Industry Dinners
Postgraduate Dinners
Scholars' Dinner
Valedictory Dinners
Formal Halls are a time-honoured tradition of wearing academic gowns for a three-course dinner with table service at the Dining Hall on Monday nights. Most weeks, there will also be musical entertainment and the opportunity to hear from extraordinary guest speakers.
On other nights throughout the semester, you can invite your university tutors, lecturers, professors or an industry professional to one of our Undergraduate Faculty or Postgraduate Dinners. In one semester alone, we welcomed nearly 90 academic staff or industry professionals to share their unique and invaluable insights and unique perspectives with residents.
Each year, we also recognise and celebrate the high academic achievements of our residents at our Scholars' Dinner.
