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. |

ANNUAL SAFETY CIRCUS PERFORMANCE FOR YEAR 3 - Monday 15th Novembe
|
Each year, our Year 3 students attend a Safety Circus performance as part of our Health and Safety program at St Anne’s. The Safety Circus has performed 10 tours to thousands of grade three students since its beginning and is a project supported by the Mackay Crime Prevention Unit.
The subjects covered in Safety Circus have not changed over the years and it concentrates on three areas of safety applying to an eight-year-old. The first is bike and scooter safety, the second is how to prevent or stop bullying as a bystander and thirdly making sure our young people can identify their safety network; people who they can talk to if they are worried or concerned about anything. This is also known as Protective Behaviours. The Safety Circus uses drama or musical theatre to deliver these safety messages to our students. This year's Safety Circus is being held here at school in our hall on Monday 15th November at 1.45pm. This is a free event for our Year 3 students. |
MISSION FAIR
During the month of October, our school community will be raising funds in support of Catholic Mission Australia. This important work links very close to the Catholic Social Teaching Principles (outlined in our latest newsletter). We are called to live a life in Christ by reaching out to people who need help. As a Catholic school, we have the responsibility to ensure that we love and support our neighbours through demonstrating kindness and compassion. Every little bit counts. On Friday the 29th of October, we will have our annual mission fair in which classes will have a set activity or stall. More information will be provided in next week's newsletter.
