From the Principal

Dear St Anthony's Families,

Easter Prayer for Our School Community

Loving God,

As we come to the end of this term and prepare to celebrate Easter, we thank you for the many moments of learning, friendship and growth we have shared.

Help us to carry the message of Easter in our hearts; a message of hope, kindness and new beginnings.

Bless our students, families and staff during the holidays. May this time be filled with rest, joy and time together.

Guide us to be people who bring light to others, sharing compassion, generosity and peace wherever we go.

Amen.

Thank you for Term One!

As we reach the end of a wonderful and busy first term, we take time to reflect on the meaning of Easter; a season of hope, renewal and new life.

Throughout Lent our students have been learning about compassion, service and the importance of caring for others. It has been inspiring to see our students live these values through their kindness, their support of one another and their participation in our Lenten outreach activities for Caritas.

Swimming

Our swimming program has been a huge success this year. The students have really enjoyed it and they learnt a lot. Thank you to the staff for organising and managing this so professionally.

Koko: 'Swimming was fun and my favorite stroke was freestyle'

Jacqui: 'The swimming teachers were really nice and they really helped us'

Tim: 'I loved the games we played, like volleyball'

I want to congratulate Felicia and Mokki for representing our school so well in the Beachside Swimming Carnival last week. Mokki represented us in the butterfly and Felicia in the breaststroke.

Mokki: 'I love swimming and it was great that I tried my hardest. Also, The chicken tenders were really nice! Haha.'

Felicia: 'I am very proud that I represented the school and I was very happy with my swim!'
