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. |

From the Principal...
As we move through the middle of the term, life feels especially full for many of our families. The pace of modern life can be relentless with having to balance work, school commitments, after‑school activities, household routines, and the many unexpected moments that arise along the way. It’s no surprise that the days can feel as though they are racing by. In the midst of this busyness, it becomes even more important to pause when we can, to breathe, and to make intentional space for connection, rest, and time with the people who matter most.
These small moments for example sharing a meal, talking about the school day, reading together before bed, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon are powerful moments. They help our children feel grounded, supported, and secure. They remind us that while education is important, wellbeing and family connection are equally essential parts of a child’s growth. We encourage all families to find those pockets of calm where possible, to recharge and reconnect, especially as we head into the final stretch of the term.
We are deeply grateful to our families for the many ways you support our school community. Whether it’s helping with homework, attending school events, volunteering your time, communicating with teachers, or simply offering encouragement to your children each morning. Your involvement makes a meaningful difference here at St Anne's. Every contribution whether its big or small strengthens the partnership between home and school. Enriching the learning experience for every student one moment at a time. Your commitment helps create a culture where children feel valued, supported, and motivated to do their best.
We also want to take a moment to recognise and celebrate our dedicated staff. Each day, they go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our students. Their efforts extend far beyond the classroom, they plan lessons, preparing resources, support student wellbeing, supervise playgrounds, organise events, and continually seeking ways to improve learning experiences. Much of this work happens quietly, behind the scenes, but its impact is felt in every smile, every achievement, and every moment of growth our students experience.
Our staff consistently demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to the children in their care. Their ability to balance high expectations with warmth and understanding is what makes our school such a special place. We are incredibly proud of the work they do and grateful for the energy, creativity, and heart they bring to their roles each day.
Thank you to every member of our school community to our students, families, and staff. You play an integral part in making our school a vibrant, welcoming, and supportive environment. Together, we continue to build a place where children feel safe, inspired, and empowered to learn and grow.
