Dear Parents, Carers, Staff and Students,

At St Anthony’s, we often reflect on our vision statement. 

With Christ as our model,

we the school community of St Anthony of Padua,

in partnership with the parish,

strive to provide quality Catholic education

in the spirit and charism of St Mary Mackillop,

whilst living by our school motto 


"Grow in Respect and Honesty" 

This is our goal, it is what we strive to achieve and what we base our decisions around. In every classroom the students are taught about our Catholic faith and this is modelled by our staff and religious when they visit classrooms. As educators, we strive to see the face of God in everyone we meet; this means to see the good in everyone. 

St Anthony, our patron Saint lived his life as a man of faith and service. Next week our staff will engage in a Spiritual Retreat centred around the theme, Where Do We Find God? The purpose of this retreat is for the staff to support their own spiritual wellbeing and engage in time for prayer and reflection.

IT'S WHO WE ARE

Recently the Diocese of Wollongong produced a beautiful, short video, narrated by Bishop Brian Mascord that describes who we are as Catholics in the Diocese of Wollongong. The video points to all of the good works of so many church agencies and the people of the diocese. Bishop Brian Mascord reminds us that, Together, we are one in Christ, seeking to be bearers of his saving love. I invite you to view the video. It showcases the wonderful people and works of the diocese that happen every day and often goes unnoticed.

Take Care

Mr Justin Devlin
