Citizenship

This pillar develops the skills needed to lead with CARE and act with INTEGRITY in a global society. It combines communication, cultural awareness, and a commitment to service. Students learn to use their voice for advocacy and their actions to support others, demonstrating a DEDICATION to being responsible, empathetic citizens of the world.

At St. Catherine’s, leadership and citizenship are nurtured through active participation, critical discourse, and service to others. From developing public speaking and persuasion skills in Debate and Forensics to cultivating original ideas through our growing TEDx programme, students learn to articulate their values with clarity and confidence. Through these clubs, learners develop the ethical integrity, global perspective, and civic responsibility needed to make a meaningful contribution to society.

Additionally, our dedicated MUN team travels regularly to participate in prestigious local and international conferences across Greece and Europe, giving students an invaluable platform to explore and consider real-world issues on a global stage.
