St Anthony's Vission and Mission

Mission:

Challenged by the good news of Jesus Christ, we seek to bring life to our motto of ‘Love and Service’ in a welcoming, hope-filled and compassionate community of learning.

We are committed to:

- Collaboratively searching for the best means of realising the partnership between family, school and parish
- Making the traditions and teachings of Catholic heritage accessible and life giving for each other
- Inviting and encouraging children to reach their full and whole potential
- Assisting to live life with joy and meaning in the present, and to develop a critical and inquiring spirit of past and present for transformation of the future
- Leading children to confidently know that they can make a positive difference in society
- Working together to provide a pleasant, attractive physical environment, and an equitable distribution of school resources
- Actively reflecting on our mission and evaluating success and failure in the light of the Gospel, to open new directions for the future.

Vision:

At St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School Clovelly, our vision for student learning is that they are:

Confident individuals
Creative minds
Connected learners.

Project Compassion - Caritas

Project Compassion is Caritas Australia’s annual Lenten fundraising and awareness-raising appeal. It is a time when we can come together as a school community in solidarity with the world’s poor to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.

Please ensure all boxes are sent back to school in Week 10.
