St Anthony's School News

Week 5 - Thursday 6th March 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
nourish me with Your Word of life
and make me one
with You in love and prayer.
Fill my heart with Your love
and keep me faithful to the Gospel of Christ.
Give me the grace to rise above my human weakness.
Give me new life through Your Sacraments, especially the Mass. Amen
Walk into any store, office space or workplace and you will more often than not see a sign similar to these in response to an increasing level of abuse towards staff.
We expect every parent or carer to passionately advocate for their child. 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 questioning staff professionalism.
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 below:
St-Anthonys-School-Code-of-Conduct.pdf and our St Anthony’s Way posters in classrooms and around the school.

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.
School Fees
The first school fee payment due next Wednesday, 12th March. Please return any outstanding forms by Monday 10th March. You will otherwise be automatically placed on a termly payment plan.
