St Anthony's School News

Week 5 - Thursday 21st August 2025
St Anthony's School community works collaboratively to teach and live the values of Christ. While respecting tradition, and to meet the demands of a rapidly changing society, it strives to educate our children to their full potential.
Principal's Message
Fill my heart with hope, Lord,
and help me trust in Your plan,
even when I cannot see the way.
Strengthen my faith that I may persevere
through the challenges I face.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen
More and more, as we walk into any store, office space or workplace we find signs similar to these in response to an increasing level of abuse towards staff.
All staff at St Anthony’s show courtesy and respect to parents who challenge our professional judgement. However, we also expect every parent to show us the same civility that they are given when bringing concerns to staff. We understand that every parent or carer will passionately advocate for their child but we also expect that parents do so in a polite, respectful manner.
We all must be models to our children in the words we speak and in our actions, especially in the respectful way we work through disagreements. Respect is a two-way street.
For further information please refer to our Code of Conduct and our St Anthony’s Way posters in classrooms, around the school and on our website.
Dates For the Next Three Weeks
We would like to remind families that St Anthony's is an allergy aware school. Therefore, for the health and safety of children and staff with allergies, peanut butter, Nutella, nuts and muesli bars containing nuts are not to be included in your child’s lunch.
God Bless

School Code of Conduct
A reminder that every member of the St Anthony’s School community must behave in the manner described in our Code of Conduct.
Our Code is like the 40km/h speed limit outside our school in the mornings and afternoons. It defines behaviours that keep our students safe: at school, and elsewhere. Children and young people surrounded by adult and peer behaviours as outlined in the Code are more likely to recognise and choose healthy relationships for themselves.
Conduct Statements
- You act safely and competently.
- You give priority to students’ safety and well-being in all your behaviour and decision making.
- You act in accordance with the values of the Gospel as defined in the Code of Ethical Conduct.
- You conduct yourself in accordance with laws, agreements, policies and standards relevant to your relationship with the school community.
- You respect the dignity, culture, values and beliefs of each member of the school community.
- You treat personal information about members of the school community as private and confidential.
- You give impartial, honest and accurate information about the education, safety and well-being of students.
- You support all members of the school community in making informed decisions about students.
- You promote and preserve the trust and privilege inherent in your relationship with all members of the school community.
- You maintain and build on the community’s trust and confidence in Catholic schools and the Church.
- You act reflectively and ethically.
- You allow students to have a voice in their education, safety and well-being
The Code describes the minimum requirements expected of all members of our community and that all in our community conduct themselves personally and professionally in a way that maintains public trust and confidence in our school and the Church. While mandatory language such as ‘must’, ‘shall’ and ‘will’ is not used throughout the Code, there is a presumption the conduct described is mandatory and therefore not optional.

Student Achievements
As we begin Semester 2, we are excited to introduce a new initiative to celebrate the achievements of our students beyond the classroom. Whether it's in sports, the arts, community service or other areas, we would love to acknowledge and share these accomplishments with our school community. If your child has achieved something special outside of school, please let us know so we can celebrate their success together.
If you would like your child’s achievement to be shared on our school’s social media platforms, please ensure you have provided permission for their photo to be published. If you're unsure of your current permissions, feel free to contact the school office to confirm.
Please send all achievements to admin@saw.wa.edu.au and a small blurb about the achievement.
Thank you for your continued support.

Robopalooza 2025 | STEM Day – Holiday Program
We’ve been delivering our Young Engineers programs for over 10 years in Perth but we also love collaborating with industry and other STEM providers to helps more kids learn & love STEM. We’re a regular at the annual Game Changer Awards and the IT Takes a Spark Education conferences.
