There was magic in the air on day one when the children returned to school for Term 3.
Magician, Joey Presto, entertained the children with his amazing illusions and tricks including disappearing objects, balloon animals, funny wands, magically appearing bunny rabbits and levitation of a student!
There was lots of squeals and laughter as teachers and students alike all tried to figure out just how the tricks were performed. It was an amazing way to launch the St Anthony’s Primary learning theme term for this term - MAKE YOUR LEARNING MAGICAL!
There will be ample opportunity to showcase ‘learning magic’ as there will be a lovely morning of celebration and hospitality planned for Grandparents Day on Tuesday 31 July from 9:15-11:00am which will include a liturgy, morning tea and open classroom visits.
We look forward to seeing lots of families there.

Students participated in a prayer service 🙏 led by Faith in Action students and Fr Joby. Catholics believe that Mary was taken up into heaven by God ✨, not just her soul, but her whole body too, because she was so pure and full of grace 💖. We learnt how Mary is a model of: 🌸 M – Mary is the Mother of Jesus 👶 — and also our spiritual Mother. 💞 A – Act with Mercy. Mary was kind and gentle to everyone 🤝. 📿 R – Rosary. When we pray the Rosary, we think about the special moments in Jesus’ life ✝️ and remember Mary’s love ❤️. 🌟 Y – Mary said ‘Yes!’ to God 🙌.
