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.

Today our students embarked on a meaningful Holy Week Visual Pilgrimage ✝️🌿, taking time to pause, reflect, and connect with the significant events of this sacred journey. At each stop, students explored a special moment of Holy Week, deepening their understanding through prayer, discussion, and reflection. From moments of celebration to times of sacrifice, they thoughtfully considered the importance of each event and its message. It was a beautiful opportunity for our students to slow down, engage spiritually, and walk together through the story of Holy Week in a meaningful and memorable way.

700+ Unite for Project Compassion Big Water Walk
More than 700 students and staff from 23 schools across Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) came together for Caritas Australia’s Big Water Walk in support of Project Compassion. Beginning at Parramatta Park, students carried buckets of water along a 4km route, gaining a glimpse of the daily journey faced by people in developing communities, especially women and children, in search of clean water.

A child in our school remarked..."Is this for real? Do children really not have enough clean water???" Our answer is YES and our hearts say this is not okay. Jesus would want us to help and today we did. We followed Jesus' footsteps. Today we bridged that gap by walking in solidarity with those who don't have access to clean water. We stopped 4 times to learn how precious water must be shared out to animals, washing up and drinking. A big heartfelt thank you to St Anthony's community for raising over $4000 for Caritas to provide these much needed water tanks to communities most in need. Thanks for bringing your buckets and walking for water! Thank you to the staff willing to be dunked to raise funds for Caritas.
