Primary School Enrolment

St Anthony’s is a Parish School and as such its purpose is to serve the parishioners. A distinguishing feature of Catholic Education is that it is open to all, especially to the poor and weakest in society. Although students at St Anthony's are predominately Catholic, students from other faith denominations are also welcome. Kindergarten children must have turned five years of age by 30 April in the year they attend.
