We’ve launched The 6 Campaign to create a vibrant boarding house and a social space where the 6th Form girls can relax. The girls deserve it. In 2012 we rebuilt the Speech Hall Library as a 6th Form Study space -- a bridge between School and University -- providing the girls with a unique academic space of their own. We will now replace our out-dated boarding accommodation in the Unit and the Barbara Platt Building with its narrow corridors and restricted bathrooms. The 6 Campaign will enable us to create generous boarding accommodation, bright bathrooms and a spacious common room for The 6 community. The 6 will bring together day girls and boarders and be a complementary space to the Speech Hall Library which the girls enjoy for their quiet, academic study.
The 6 in numbers
40
double bedrooms – light and generously sized shared rooms with a personal study area. The rooms are designed to include plenty of storage space and contemporary shelving.
8
bathrooms – these will be modern and bright for shared usage. To provide the privacy girls deserve, we are also including in the design some private bathroom spaces.
2
dens/snugs – for quiet time, relaxation, conversation, TV and listening to music at evenings and weekends.
1
common room – for all The 6 community, day girls and boarders alike. Newspapers, magazines, comfortable seating space and a fully fitted kitchen – the common room will be the ‘heart of The 6’ where the community comes together at break or lunchtime.
3
staff flats – first-rate staff, who are also academic teachers, will be housed within The 6, available to support the girls with guidance when needed.
Community
… a gathering place for day girls and boarders to socialise, relax and support each other and where The 6 identity is formed.
The 6 Our educational and pastoral philosophy for The 6 is to encourage the girls to: et the most out of g every day evelop within d a collaborative academic community learn selfsufficiency appreciate difference form friendships and networks for life prepare confidently for their adult lives
Be part of The 6 We invite you to help ‘Create the Future’ for St Catherine’s by giving to The 6 Campaign. The 6 will benefit day-girls and boarders and generations of girls to come. Working with Architects IID – designers of the Anniversary Halls and the Speech Hall Library, we are planning an opening date of Autumn 2019. We need to raise £750,000 to contribute to The 6. The building will be funded by your generosity and reserves income. Your support is crucial to the Campaign’s success and the future long-term development of the School. You can help The 6 community thrive now and into the future.
Your support of The 6 You can choose how to give – monthly, annually or as a one-off donation. You can choose to remain anonymous or be recognised for your support. All gifts, of whatever size, are of value to the Campaign. You may wish to make your gift to a specific part of The 6 Campaign.
Name a space as part of The 6 Campaign There are limited opportunities to name spaces. The girls themselves will be identifying inspirational women who have had an impact on society. The double bedrooms will be named after these women and you will have the opportunity to select a room to sponsor. Naming opportunities
