From the Principal
We would like to acknowledge the original custodians of this land
and pay our respects to the Elders past and present and emerging,
for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia.
Athletics Day
What a wonderful day we had with such eager and excited students taking part in the events. Thank you to Mr Simon Addicoat, the staff and the parents who made the carnival so special after such a long time. We were so fortunate that the weather was in our favour.
Congratulations to Padua (Red team) who came first in achieving the highest score and all the other teams who participated with such eagerness and enthusiasm.

Our 2023 Preps eagerly begin their Orientation sessions next Monday 14 November. I am happy to announce that their classroom teachers for 2023 are Mrs Sarah O'Hara (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday) and Mrs Marie Georgiadis (Thursday & Friday). Our Preps will enjoy becoming more familiar with their surrounding and will also have an opportunity to meet their 5/6 "Buddies" during this time. We welcome them to our St Anthony's Family.

Traffic Safety
Drop off and pick up times are always busy times on the road, however, the safety of children, parents and the public are of utmost importance. Please use the crossing when parking on the opposite side of the school and coming to collect your children, and always adhere to the speed limit.
Carols Evening
All families are invited to come along on Monday 12 December to be part of our traditionally carols evening. This is an opportunity to gather together for a picnic dinner on The Green and join the students as they present to you Carols and popular Christmas songs. The evening will start at 6.30pm and the PFA will also provide their support. More information will come out in the next few weeks.
Curriculum Day Tuesday 6 December
The focus for the day will be for staff to work on the School Review process which looks at all the work the school has undertaken over the last four years. Staff from the MACS will support the staff to follow the guidelines and begin work on evaluating and planning for the School Review which will formally take place in Term 2 2023. The process recognises the distinctive nature of Catholic education focusing on the full flourishing of each student. This is an evidenced-based framework designed to highlight the priorities and practices that support student outcomes through school improvement and effectiveness.
This is a school closure day for students. Please note that OHSC will be available.
Upcoming Meetings for your attention:
SAC - AGM: Tuesday 22 November - 8.00pm
PFA - AGM: Tuesday 29 November - 7.30pm
Sincerely yours
Margaret Carlei
Principal
