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.

VENERABLE CATHERINE MCAULEY PRAYER CELEBRATION
Last Friday Year 2 led us in a beautiful prayer celebration to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mercy. This day is celebrated worldwide on the 24th of September by the Sisters of Mercy, a religious order of women founded by Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland in 1831. The Sisters of Mercy travelled to Australia and eventually to Sarina, starting St. Anne's in 1925. The Sisters of Mercy carried out works on Mercy in their communities such as feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, sheltering the homeless, teaching children and caring for our common home. St. Anne's follows in Catherine McAuley's footsteps by donating food, clothing and money to St. Vincent's De Paul, recycling cans and poppers and looking after our school environment.
