Australia’s Sunniest Capital City
For international students, Perth is the perfect location with its warm, sunny climate and relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Perth is also in the same time zone as many Asian countries, making it easier to keep in touch with family and friends.
St Catherine’s College is located within the UWA Crawley Campus precinct, along the Swan River and just minutes from the Perth CBD, Kings Park, foodie hotspots and historic tourist attractions. Major bus routes also run past the College, making travel to other places of interest like Fremantle and Cottesloe Beach, easy.
There are also a wealth of activities for you to experience in Western Australia, from the drama of the outback and spectacular coastlines, to the sub-tropical wilderness in the North West. Our residents regularly organise roadtrips together to explore the many wonders that our vast state has to offer.
Pre-Departure Assistance and Orientation
St Catherine’s College runs an inclusive orientation program to help new residents get settled in to their living and learning environment. In this week full of fun activities, you’ll get to meet your closest neighbours and other residents from around Australia and the world. You will also be introduced to the College staff and your Residential Advisor (RA), who is responsible for your pastoral care.
Additionally, UWA provides a range of programs and orientation sessions for international students to prepare for their move to Perth. Learn more about these programs here.
