Welcome.....St Anne's School was founded by the Sisters of Mercy and officially opened 23 May 1925. Our school provides students from Prep to Year Six with a contemporary and well-balanced Catholic education in a family atmosphere. The school family consists of a caring and willing group of parents and students, together with a dedicated and experienced staff.
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School is located in the coastal town of Sarina, in the Rockhampton Diocese. The student population of the school remains relatively stable. Parents believe that St Anne’s offers their children a quality educational curriculum in an environment of care and nurturing, support and respect. The school has a very strong sense of community ownership. Strong support exists between staff, students and parents with a very active and dedicated Parents and Friends Committee and School Board. |

Week 7–8 Newsletter Update
The past fortnight has been a wonderful reflection of the spirit, effort, and community that make our school such a special place. I wanted to highlight just a few occasion where our school spirit shone through.
NAPLAN Wrapped Up
Our students have now completed their NAPLAN assessments, and we could not be prouder of the way they approached each task. Their calm focus, determination, and willingness to give their best were evident throughout the week. A heartfelt thank‑you to our teachers for their preparation and support, and to families for helping students arrive each day ready to learn. It truly was a great team effort.
Strong Engagement in Local Sports
Our involvement in the local netball competition continues to grow, and it has been fantastic to see so many students participating with enthusiasm. Their teamwork, sportsmanship, and energy on the court have been outstanding. Thank you to the parents and carers who assist with transport, coaching, and cheering from the sidelines, your support makes these opportunities possible.
Sacramental Program Underway
The Sacramental Program has now commenced, and we acknowledge the wonderful commitment shown by families as they guide their children through this important stage of their faith journey. The preparation sessions run by our parish and in particular Ms Moloney have been positive and meaningful, and we are grateful for the partnership between home, parish, and school in supporting our students.
Community Garage Sale Coming Up
Preparations are well underway for our upcoming community garage sale. This event is always a highlight, bringing families together while raising valuable funds. Thank you to everyone who has already donated items or volunteered time. Your generosity is deeply appreciated, and we look forward to a great day of community connection.
Finally, as a whole school we are focusing on a particular school charism each week. In recent weeks we had a focus on Kindness and eagerly awarded Lewis, Erin and Jasmine for displaying these qualities. This week we have a focus on Compassion: a quality which is displayed through listening, cooperation, respect and meaningful relationships. I encourage all families to engage with their children through this particular focus.
Thank you
