Our Story

St Anthony's Primary has been serving families in the Toongabbie and Girraween area since 1950. We are a K-6 Catholic school that fosters a strong sense of community and encourages everyone to achieve their full potential.

Our school is a welcoming, safe and innovative learning community for local students and their families. Enrolling at St Anthony's is a chance for your family to be part of our story too!


Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to St Anthony's where your child’s happiness and safety is paramount. Success and happiness go hand in hand and it is very difficult to achieve one without the other. We want our school to be a place that children always want to come to – a place that is motivating, fun, inspiring and safe, where all children experience belonging and connectedness.


Enrolling Now

We warmly welcome new families to join our school community. Enquiries and enrolment applications for all grades are welcome any time of the year, although the main enrolment period is between March and May in the year before your child will start at our school.

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

Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know

The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). 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.
