The Victorian Minister for Children Lizzie Blandthorn was pleased to announce that Sandhurst Catholic Early Childhood Education and Care (SCECEC) has been awarded funding for the construction of a new kindergarten at St Anne's. The funding, provided through the Victorian Government's Building Blocks partnership, will support the development of a two-room kindergarten, with construction scheduled to commence within the next two years. What an exciting addition to the St Anne's site!

Remembrance Day

Our new college captains, Lillian Richardson and Shrey Patel, and I represented St Anne's at the Shepparton Remembrance Day service on Tuesday. Shrey and Lillian laid a wreath alongside representatives from other schools and organisations. 

 

Remembrance Day is a significant occasion on our national calendar, as it honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on how lucky we are to live in such a peaceful and democratic nation.
