Message from the Deputy Principal 

Dear Families and Friends,

 

I can't believe that we are nearly finished for 2024!

 

2024 contained many highlights at St Anthony's including Harmony Day, Prep Buddy BBQ, Bible and PJ Night, Grade 3/4 activity night, School Camp, Sporting Events, Sacraments, Going Up Day, Christmas Carols, School Production and Grade 6 Graduation on Tuesday night. 

 

Today was also a highlight for me as I saw our 2024 Preps walk into their rooms for next year! The smiles on their faces made my day !

 

 I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday period. Rest up for a busy 2024 !

 

I'm looking forward to walking my dog (Soto), visiting family and watching the cricket.

From stables to streets

O God of Love, allow us not to only mark Christmas with feasting and celebration, but to remember those who seek asylum as fellow humans ;to act upon your Word, to love you and our neighbours as ourselves. (Mk 12:30-31) Should we be forced to migrate or become refugees, we would hope that our global family would cherish us as our own do. Remind us, O God of Compassion, of those who spend cold days alone and exposed to the harsh weather as your son and his family were, from stables to the streets, deserts to stormy seas, may we reflect your benevolence. May we be active in our own will to nurture the young and cherish all people of all races and creeds as united children of Heaven on Earth. Amen.

 

Merry Christmas. 

 

Kind regards, 

 

James
