O God, you bestowed on
St Anne such grace that she was found worthy to become the mother of Mary, who brought forth Your only begotten Son. Grant that we may be helped by her intercession.
St Anne: Pray for us
St Anne’s College is a Catholic community welcoming all, inspired by a loving God, committed to faith, wisdom and learning.
Central to the mission of St Anne’s College is an unequivocal commitment to fostering the dignity, self-esteem and integrity of children and young people and providing them with a safe, supportive and enriching environment to develop spiritually, physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
St Anne’s College promotes the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all students.
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the First Nations people, on whose ancestral lands we meet.
The Australian Indigenous story has many chapters, some coloured with discovery and some blacked out with dispossession, some heartwarming and some heartbreaking, some hidden and some heralded. We recognise the intrinsic connection to the land for Aboriginal people, as well as water resources within the landscape, and commit ourselves to care for it with gentleness, patience, strength and compassion, rather than merely as something to be bought and sold, as we journey towards reconciliation.
Local Aboriginal artist Troy Firebrace recently installed his beautiful new artwork, titled Life Within Country, at St Anne's College. Please see the videos below for a glimpse at the installation process and Troy's engaging story about the inspiration for his painting. It is the second artwork Troy has painted for St Anne's College, the first being We Live in Memories (above).
