How we are resourcing our school new devices in our school and programs they will support.

We have recently purchased many new devices to support the learning programs at our school. Resourcing our school and upgrading our technology is an ongoing process and it is important for you to see how we are spending the money that you all contribute to through the payment of fees. We have 50 new iPads in our junior school that will be a shared resource and will support creative digital learning programs. This has enabled the chrome books to spread across to 3/4 and 5/6 so every learner has their own chrome book to be responsible for. This has made a big difference to our learning programs.

Architect news and funding news

We have recently engaged a new architect firm, Crosier Scott Architects who will be working closely with all stakeholders in the development of our 5-10 year Masterplan. This will mean we can focus on the upgrading of many of our facilities and applying for potential government grants since the election. Crosier Scott will work with our children, parents and teachers to understand our needs. We look forward to planning the upgrades for physical spaces and buildings so that they will reflect and accommodate the unique programs that we currently offer.

School Uniform

Term 2 and 3 are colder months and so the winter uniform should be worn. Please ensure that the correct St Anthony's uniform items are worn. This means correct colours and shoes. Children may wear runners on their designated sports days but not with their daily uniform. Black school shoes should be worn. Black leggings and brightly coloured tights are not part of our uniform. If girls are wearing the tunic they need to have navy tights or navy socks, not leggings. There are many items for purchase that can keep the children warm such as the vest and raincoat, tracksuit pants and long pants. The uniform shop is open every Monday and Friday from 8.30am-9.30am

Thank you for assisting us to maintain respect for self and school by wearing the St Anthony's uniform.
