23.01.2022 Shana Kerlander OG1991 receives NSWJBD President's Award. The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies has awarded the annual President’s Award, this year named in honour of the late past President Professor Graham de Vahl Davis AM, to Shana Kerlander CEO of Mandelbaum House. The award is designed to acknowledge an individual who has made an outstanding contribution towards facilitating and promoting understanding, reconciliation, mutual respect, goodwill and tolerance between communi...ty, religious and ethnic groups in NSW and in promoting a safe, inclusive and cohesive community for NSW. When announcing Kerlander as the winner, Board of Deputies President Lesli Berger said she has dedicated herself to the advancement of Jewish values and pastoral care for young Jewish youths for fifteen years. If you haven’t been to Mandelbaum House, next year come over for a meal. You’ll get to see what we do here, who we are. We have a lot of amazing students who you mention things I do but it’s really our students, and our council who just like Graham are wise, are dedicated and I really thank you. It’s a real honour and privilege. I am humbled she said.

22.01.2022 Be a part of your daughter’s school’s 165 year history and have your name recorded in this milestone landmark. Your donation will impact generations to come. "When I think back to my time at St Catherine’s, my fondest memories were the countless hours I spent performing. After graduating in 2014, I went to the Australian Institute of Music and completed a Bachelor of Music, singing, dancing and acting for up to forty hours a week. The RPAC will be such an incredible facility for upcoming young performers, something I could only have wished for during my school days. I can’t wait to see many shows at the RPAC in the years to come. Chloe Friedlander OG 2014
