Principal's Message

03 Jul 2020

Dear Parents & Carers,

I want to thank you all for your amazing efforts in supporting your child, your family and St Anthony’s during Term 2. When we set out at the start of the term we expected the remote learning period to last for at least a term. That wasn't to be and by Week Four and Week Five we had the majority of our students were back for face-to-face teaching. We were all pleased to see school return to a more normal way of operation. The way you have supported your child’s learning and wellbeing has been incredible, as well as managing your family’s affairs and your work pressures.

You have been able to assist the school staff in working through what can only be described as one of the most challenging periods in the history of education in Australian. Thank you for your resilience, patience and understanding.

Parent representatives at our recent P&F and the School Board meetings collectively gave so much praise and appreciation to the staff at St Anthony's. More parents and carers have passed on their thanks in other ways. I can say that this means a lot to our staff and we are all in this together.

I wish you all good health as we continue to live and work through this COVID-19 pandemic. I certainly hope you can have a really, really good break during the holidays and have the opportunity to relax with your family.

God bless and I look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.

Regards,

Greg Walker
Principal
