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.

✨ What a Week of Mercy! ✨ Last term, our school community came together to celebrate a truly amazing Week of Mercy. Each day began with a heartfelt Mercy prayer led by our inspiring Year 6 students, setting the tone for a week filled with compassion, reflection and joy. Our beautiful Mercy liturgy was a standout moment with a magical reflection brought to life by our talented choir and dance group. We were also blessed to have Srs Antoinette, Sally and Margaret join us for the liturgy and present the Mercy Awards, recognising students who live out the Mercy values in their everyday actions. The celebrations continued with our much-loved Mercy Cup, a fierce but friendly netball showdown between the teachers and students 🏐. This was all wrapped up with the incredible Mercy Markets, organised by Year 6. Through their creativity and generosity, they raised an amazing $2,403.10 for Mercy Works! 💙 Take a look at the snaps capturing the joy, faith and spirit of the magical Mercy Week that was! 🌿✨
