Kindergarten gets a thumbs up from new students
St Anthony’s Primary, Girraween welcomed over 50 new families to the school community with an evening celebration on Friday 21 February.
New Kindergarten students showcased their talents, performing a new song for staff and families. The event was a great opportunity for parents to share a meal and meet teachers and other families at St Anthony’s.
Principal Attila Lendvai, who has joined the school community this year, said the annual tradition is important in building a strong school community and an invaluable opportunity for new parents to get to know teachers.
‘The evening was a great success and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with and involve parents on many occasions throughout the year,’ said Attila.

If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

⛳ Congratulations, Kylo! We are incredibly proud of Kylo for representing St Anthony's at the CSNSW Golf Tournament this week at Blackheath. Competing against students from Years 4–6, Kylo demonstrated determination, resilience and sportsmanship in extremely cold and wet conditions. Despite the challenging course, he played some outstanding golf and represented our school with pride throughout the day. At St Anthony's, we love seeing our students embrace opportunities to challenge themselves, strive for personal excellence and represent our community with integrity. Well done, Kylo, on a fantastic achievement, we can't wait to see what next year brings! #LearningUplifts #StAnthonysGirraween #ProudToRepresent #StudentAchievement

✨ St Anthony’s Feast Day Celebration ✨ Yesterday we came together to celebrate the Feast Day of St Anthony of Padua. We began our day with a special prayer, reflecting on St Anthony’s example of faith, kindness, service and care for all of creation. Students then moved into their house colours and participated in four meaningful rotations, exploring the Franciscan way through music, creation, reflection and prayer. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect and celebrate the values that St Anthony shared with us. We concluded our Feast Day celebrations with a beautiful liturgy, giving thanks for our community and the inspiration of St Anthony’s life. 💚🙏 #StAnthonysFeastDay #FranciscanValues #SchoolCommunity
