It is with great joy that I welcome you to our vibrant and faith-filled school community at St. Anthony’s Catholic Primary School. Together with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and parish community, we are committed to honouring the mission of Catholic education: to educate the whole child in faith, learning, and service.
Since our founding in 1880, St. Anthony’s has been a cornerstone of the Wollondilly community, firmly rooted in the charism of St. Mary of the Cross MacKillop and the Sisters of St. Joseph. Their legacy of compassion, dedication, and faith continues to inspire our mission and guide the work we do each day.
At St. Anthony’s, we believe in fostering an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to achieve their fullest potential. Our vision centred on faith, learning, and the dignity of each individual guides us in nurturing students who are respectful, resilient, and committed to making a positive difference in the world.
We place great importance on building strong and meaningful relationships within our school community. By reflecting Christ’s teachings in our words and actions, we endeavour to instil in our students the values of respect, responsibility, compassion, and joy. At St. Anthony’s, these values form the foundation of ourrich learning environment and our commitment to academic excellence.
Our partnership with the St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish, under the inspiring leadership of Fr. Peter Tien, plays a vital role in enriching the spiritual life of our school. We are also blessed by the active involvement of parents, grandparents, and carers who contribute so generously to our vibrant community.
As principal, I consider it a blessing and a privilege to lead this remarkable school. Together, we strive to create a place where every child is nurtured to grow in faith, develop their gifts, and embrace the call to love and serve others. At St. Anthony’s, we are dedicated to shaping a future full of hope, learning, and promise for every student.
I warmly invite you to explore our school, discover the opportunities we offer, and experience the welcoming and inclusive community that makes St. Anthony’s such a special place.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Vicky Davidson
Principal
