St Catherine's College Partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities
We are pleased to formally share that the College has partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC WA) to support WA families with ill or injured children.
Ronald McDonald House on Park officially opened on Friday August 23, at our UWA campus. It expands free accommodation services in Perth for regional children receiving care at Perth Children's Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital.
Current and future residents will experience firsthand the benefits of this partnership as the College is at the forefront of innovation and leadership, providing our residents with unparalleled opportunities. Our residents have commenced volunteer opportunities with RMHC WA and painted canvases for each bedroom. Future students will also have increased opportunities for scholarships and support thanks to the stability provided by this long-term agreement.
