As we approach the end of another remarkable year, I extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your steadfast support of St. Anthony's. Together, we have continued to strengthen the vital partnership between home and school, fostering a nurturing environment for our students' growth and learning.

I wish every family a Christmas filled with joy and safety as we embrace the profound message behind this season—the birth of Jesus. May this time be one of reflection, love, and cherished moments with your loved ones.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff for their unwavering commitment and tireless dedication in meeting the diverse needs of our students. Your hard work has truly made a difference. Please take this well-deserved break to recharge and cherish precious moments with your families.

A special thank you goes to Father Peter for his inspiring leadership and guidance in nurturing our faith throughout the year. Your wisdom has been invaluable to our community.

As we bid farewell to this year, it's with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to several esteemed staff members. Mrs. Danielle Campbell, who has been working this year at St. Michael's Thirroul and Mrs. Tracey Bond, who has been working at St Clare’s at Narellan Vale for the past two years, will not be returning to St. Anthony's. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Danielle and Tracey for their dedicated service and wish them both the very best for her future endeavors.

I also want to express gratitude to our dynamic Parents and Friends Association for their innovative initiatives, ensuring that our students and community enjoyed various engaging activities throughout the year. Your support has been instrumental in creating a vibrant school community.

A sincere thank you also goes to Kellie in the canteen and Judy, Rebecca, and Irena in the uniform shop for their continuous dedication in providing invaluable services to our students and parents.

On behalf of the entire staff at St. Anthony's, I wish each and every one of you a wonderful, safe, and joyous Christmas season filled with warmth, laughter, and treasured moments with family and friends.

God bless,

Mr Justin Devlin
