Dear Parents, Carers, Staff and Students, 

This week, as we head towards our Easter break, the whole school community has had the opportunity to ‘walk with Jesus’, as we participate in the events of Holy Week. Our Stations Of The Cross Liturgy this Thursday will provide the students with a deeper understanding of what Jesus experienced as he moved from the triumphant entry on Palm Sunday, to Him being put to death on Good Friday and then to the joyful experience of the resurrection on Easter Sunday. Our Bishop, Bishop Brian reminds us, “Let us continue to pray, reflect and encounter the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus and allow this mystery to draw us deeper into the great love that God has for us.”

Today was a good day in the life of St Anthony’s! To observe the joy, to listen to the conversation and to feel the sense of community as the students participated in our Cross Country Carnival was a  pleasure to be  a part of. A big thank you to all the volunteers and parents who observed our Covid directives and came along to support the children. I would also like to acknowledge our wonderful staff, led by our sports committee, who organised a well run carnival. A great day was enjoyed by all.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the wonderful kind words of encouragement from the parent community. Your support and gratitude is much needed and very much appreciated. I wish all our families a restful Easter break and pray that we are able to spend time in prayer and reflection.

Take Care

Justin Devlin
