Father’s Day Celebration at St Anthony’s
We hope all our Dads, Grandads, Uncles, and father-figures had a wonderful Father’s Day! It was heartwarming to see so many of the significant men in our students’ lives join us at school on Friday 5 September for a joyful morning of celebration.
Our Father’s Day event included a delicious BBQ breakfast, a fun push-up challenge, and a beautiful prayer liturgy. It was a special way to honour the love, strength, and guidance these men bring to our families and community.
A heartfelt thank you to Sean Sheridan for organising the coffee cart and BBQ breakfast—your efforts helped make the morning extra memorable! Thank you to all the mother's who assisted in the BBQ breakfast!
Easts Tag Gala Day - A Roaring Success!
We’re thrilled to share that our recent Rugby League Gala Day was a fantastic success! With the support of the Sydney Roosters, our students from Year 2 to Year 6 had the opportunity to participate in a fun-filled day of sport, teamwork, and skill-building.
The Gala Day was designed to encourage participation and foster a love for Rugby League and develop confident, capable players. Our students demonstrated enthusiasm and sportsmanship.
School on time
Thank you to the parents who always have their children at school on time as I know how busy mornings can be. The first part of the day is really important for the children to hear the routine of the day and what they will be learning. Please note our school day starts at 8.55 am with a prayer led by our Year 6 leaders.
Uniforms / Hats / Water Bottles
Thank you to those parents who ensure their children are dressed in their complete and proper school uniform each day. A reminder that children must have their hat and a water bottle each day. The office has noticed an increased number of students forgetting their hats and water bottles and we are hoping this will improve as the weather starts to warm up.
Summer Uniform
The official changeover into summer uniform is after the holidays at the beginning of Term 4, however given that we have had some warm weather, we will have a transition period from this term where summer or winter uniform may be worn. Please note, however, that either full summer or full winter must be worn - not a combination of both. Thank you for your cooperation.
Principal Retreat
This week, I will be attending a retreat in Kincumber with fellow principals—a valuable time for reflection, renewal, and connection. Retreats help us refocus on our mission as Catholic educators and return to our schools with fresh energy and insight.

Last Friday’s Jersey Day was a colourful celebration of team spirit, with so many of our children proudly wearing their favourite footy jerseys. I wore my Souths jersey with pride—though my team didn’t quite get the win this time! A special highlight for some of our students, Luca & Jack, who had the chance to meet Roosters teammates after their victory. What an exciting moment for our young fans!
Yours in Partnership
