If you have a child starting school in Prep next year or 3 or 4 year old Kinder and you have not yet submitted your enrolment form you need to do this urgently. We are coming to the end of the enrolment period, places are being finalised and it is essential that we have numbers known in order to plan for classes.

Child Safe signs

You would have noticed our new signage in three different areas of the school.

It is not only in word but in action every day at St Anthony's.

Staff on leave in Term 3

We have a number of staff taking some well deserved leave in Term 3. Ms Jodie Bawden will be away for the first 2 weeks of Term 3. We welcome Mr Tim O'Mahoney into 3/4BA during this time. Tim is very familiar with the 3/4 space, expectations and knows the children very well.

Andrea McFerran who is our wonderful Art Therapist will be taking 3 weeks leave so her programs will resume when she returns. If you have any concerns during this time please see any member of the Wellbeing team led by James Gow.

Ann Scott will be taking some leave and we welcome Tran Chau who will provide education support in her absence.

Ms Laraine Rodriquez will also be taking some leave. Oral language programs will resume when Laraine returns. We also wish Tamara Busbridge well as she completes her final teaching placement for her studies. Tamara will be replaced by Audrey Liwidjaja-Ly during her time away. We welcome Audrey and we continue to ensure that everything rolls on as normal during this time with minimal disruption.

We welcome you to be part of our Catholic community where multi-faith and multicultural people enrich learning. A Catholic School's purpose ensures learning is an adventure of discovery, possibilities and friendship where young minds are set alight.

Where children grow academically and as caring young people. Each lesson is the pursuit of a new frontier. Our mission is much more than to help your child pass a test. It is to help shape their hearts and minds for a lifetime of success. We are focused on educating your children in the fullest sense. It is the success of our students that makes it all worth the effort. For us each day is an adventure too. When they leave our care we want to know that they are best equipped to leave their mark on the world.

It is within this community where we believe everyone has the opportunity to flourish and be known as who they are.

Bullying. No Way!

Please remember that we take the wellbeing and safety of all of our children and community members very seriously. We are a childsafe school. If at any time you have any concerns, please remember that we are here to listen and work out the best outcome for all and all matters can be handled in a calm and reasonable manner. The Parent/Guardian code of Conduct is very clear about the manner in which everyone should be treated with equal respect. Please see the Policy in the wellbeing section of our newsletter and on our Website. You will also note some more new signage going up this week that clearly articulates that we are a child safe school.

Kids Helpline

Kids Helpline - Anytime Any reason

Cyber Safety

Cyberbullying and our responsibilities

I’d like to remind everyone about the serious nature of cyberbullying and in fact any bullying. We are required to take this matter very seriously and as such we have strict codes of conduct and expectations of our staff and students around respectful and responsible use of technology. We also have a system that allows us to monitor student usage. If we find any of our students misusing technology there are serious consequences. This will mean a loss of privileges in using technology for some time and communication with parents. For your information I include our Acceptable Use Policy Document which all children and parents sign. There is a new link on our website to report any cyber bullying behaviour of any kind or anything that you think breaches this code of conduct in any way. It is our responsibility to make sure our children know when they are not using technology respectfully. Thank you for your ongoing support in working with us on this important matter.
