College pets
We have 6+ pets that roam around the College grounds.
Vege Gardens
St Catherine’s has a vege garden! Our gardens are always in a constant supply of fresh herbs and vegetables, planted and maintained by our own residents. You are welcome to pick any of the fresh produce all year round.
Solar Panels
In 2017, we installed a 200kW energy system powered by 479 solar panels on our rooftops. Worth over $518,000, the energy generated from these panels offsets about 30% of our energy use — that’s approximately $84,000 in annual electricity spend, or 257 tonnes in yearly CO2 emissions.
Musical Instruments
5 pianos and 2 soundproof rooms. The five pianos include a Bösendorfer and a Blüthner Grand Piano, two full drum kits, music stands and adjustable music chairs.
Red Slide!
St Catherine’s has a Red slide like the Google offices in Berlin. When you need a bit of fun, the slide is the solution!
