St Anthony's Parish School

The Parish School is St Anthony's School and is situated a short distance from the church on the corner of Somerset Road and Turner Road. The main entrance is from Turner Road.

The School was established by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters in 1930 and dedicated to that great franciscan teacher and scholar Saint Anthony of Padua.

Currently it has an enrolment in excess of 583 students from Prep to Year Seven (for girls) and Year one to Year Four (for boys). Many of the boys continue their primary school education at Padua College.

 

Our School Mission

St Anthony's Primary School aims to provide its students with a high quality education that integrates faith, life and culture.

This integration is achieved through the education of the whole person- physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and social.

The dedicated staff and supportive parents work together as partners in this close family community, to provide the children with a challenge and caring learning environment.

 

Religious Education at the School

Religious Education has a very prominent place in the curriculum and life of the school.

Religious education classes are conducted each day for the children, and there are many opportunities for the children to prepare liturgies, and be involved in the celebration of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Penance.

The School shares the vision of the Archdiocese of Brisbane that the children may live and spread the Gospel message; that they might make this message their own, and that they might come to know and appreciate the traditions and wisdom of the Catholic church, with a special concern for issues of justice, peace, and reconciliation.

 

After School Care for children

The Parish conducts a Before and After School care as well as Vacation Care. This takes place on the campus of St Anthony's School.
