Celebrating Catholic Education

 

Welcome to our Website!

St. Anthony's Catholic Parish Primary School belongs to the Brisbane Archdiocese and, as part of the Alexandra Hills and Capalaba Catholic Parish, caters for the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth of boys and girls from Prep to Year 7.
Saint Anthony's offers an excellent holistic and educational program for students built on outcomes based learning. Our school has a commitment to provide a wide range of spiritual, educational and cultural activities for our students. We recognise that parents are the "first educators of their children". Parental involvement is encouraged and supported at St Anthony's from Prep to Year 7.
Through our Strategic Renewal Framework we focus on the quality of the curriculum that is offered and ensure that this curriculum is aligned to our Mission. These structures and processes are designed to ensure accountability and to promote quality education. They assist St Anthony's in reflecting on and celebrating the high quality of current practice.
At the same time, these renewal practices help with development of areas that will better meet the needs of our students to take their place as leaders in a rapidly changing world.
Our staff is a dedicated group of caring professionals who work together to ensure a sound education is provided for the children. All staff are highly qualified and trained. They bring to our school a wide range of educational backgrounds and innovative and creative teaching strategies.
Recognition of efforts and achievements are valued and highlighted. Each week the children participate in Prayer Assembly and the Student Merit Awards Assembly where children are recognised for their efforts in all aspects of their learning.

Dance Fever
Congratulations to all the students who competed at the recent Dancefever Challenge! Special congratulations to our wonderful students who took out the overall Championship as well as the Year 5 and 6 championships. Thank you to the staff for their attendance and to the parents for the beautiful way you attended to the children’s dress they all looked magnificent. Well done! The trophies are on display.

Community News

Let your words teach and your actions speakRosies BABI Appeal

It has been wonderful to see the mountain of tea, coffee, sugar, Milo and soup growing in the Parish Office, as families from the Redland area schools and parishes have shown their generosity through their support of the Rosies and BABI Appeal. Both of these organisations work actively in our communities to support young people and their families who are in need. Not only are we helping these organisations through this Appeal, but we are teaching our children the value of caring for others. The smiles on the faces of the children I have seen adding to the collection in our school office are heart-warming. This Appeal is a wonderful opportunity for the children to be involved in helping others without expecting to receive anything in return. Thank you once again for your support of a very worthwhile community project.

I was recently fortunate to be one of the parent interviewees for the Catholic Education performance review of our Principal Judith Seery. I was most impressed by the rigour of the process and level of thoroughness and willingness to investigate demonstrated by the reviewing panel. I am reassured that Catholic Education has processes in place to ensure high standards are maintained and continually enhanced. Processes such as this not only provide opportunity for parents to contribute but also to gain a small insight into the demanding and hectic role that is the lot of an effective school Principal. I believe our children’s education is in good hands.

Thanks to Craig Pollard for Chairing the last P&F meeting. Some of the highlights included: Fiesta planning and progress including having a “food ticket sales stall” rather than each food stall handling money, beginning to develop design and acquisition plans for “covered outdoor learning areas” between buildings and the usual reports. I wish all a restful and safe holiday break from the school routine and a return filled with enthusiasm for Fiesta 2009.

FIESTA
Now we are into our final run down to St Anthony’s Fiesta. Once again, thank you to all those families who have volunteered their services for the actual day and a special thanks to the many families, who have literally dedicated hours of their precious time towards preparations. Please know that your presence and time is truly valued. I take this opportunity to once again thank Jo and Kathy who have literally given many dedicated hours to the organization of this wonderful event. Any queries regarding Fiesta please call Joanne on 0438 203572 or email jc6770@gmail.com
