On the 5th- 6th of September Stage 3 attended an overnight excursion to the Lutanda Yarramunda Camp.
Throughout term 2 stage 3 have been learning about team building and student leadership.
Throughout this camp students and staff had to work together through fun activities such as rope climbing courses, archery, cooking and flying foxes. Each activity required students to demonstrate the leadership skills they learned in class as well as their key communication skills whilst working in a team environment.
Staff and students thoroughly enjoyed this excursion as many friendships were formed or strengthened and students learnt key life skills to take to their day to day lives.
The excursion was an enjoyable experience for both the students and teachers taking away many enjoyable memories

Recently, our community lost a much-loved former staff member of St Anthony’s. We'd like to take this opportunity to remember and honour Ross Howse. Ross worked at our school from 2000 to 2021, serving our community with dedication, kindness and quiet generosity. He passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer and will be fondly remembered for his laid back approach and the positive impact he had on the lives of students, colleagues and families over many years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ross’s family and loved ones at this time. May eternal rest be granted unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Ross Howse 07/04/1959 – 29/12/2025

Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.
