Wellbeing Update

'At St Anthony’s we strive to provide safe classroom communities that provide students with a sense of safety, affirmation and belonging, alongside opportunities to explore faith and social / emotional skills.' 

Dear Families, 

 

Have a wonderful long weekend. I hope that you can spend some time outdoors and enjoy the sunshine on Tuesday  - 28 degrees. 

 

I have included some important information on ESafety below. If you have a couple of minutes, please have a look. 

 

Kind regards, 

 

James
