Some of our fantastic students volunteer themselves to the amazing called Mini Vinnies.
As part of the Mini Vinnies, they have been working on a project called the group Buddy Bench. The Buddy Bench is where people can sit together and have a conversation.
This meaning behind the Buddy Bench is that a conversation can change anything. This was inspired by staff and students being more aware of a person well being and how positive and negative things can impact that individual.
Our school's Biddy bench has now been completed and is a good reminder of how we can spread the awareness of all forms of wellbeing as well as how the beauty of friendship can help a lot more than we think.

Today we gathered as a whole school community to celebrate Mass, coming together in faith and gratitude as we begin the new year. During the celebration, we introduced our theme for the year, Learning Uplifts in 2026, reminding us that learning has the power to inspire, empower and lift each of us to be our very best. We also commissioned our Year 6 2026 leaders, acknowledging their commitment to serve our school community with responsibility, kindness and courage. We are proud of the positive example they will set for their peers throughout the year. We look ahead with excitement to a wonderful year of growth, leadership and learning together. 💙

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.
