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. |

WHY DOES ST ANNE’S SUPPORT ST VINCENT DE PAUL?
Through the Gospel we are taught to be aware of the poor and needy. In his lifetime, Jesus was aware of all people who were in need, He was compassionate towards them and helped them. We are also taught to challenge injustices. Jesus spoke out against injustices of all kinds and challenged the unjust rules of his time. In keeping with our Mercy charism and following the example of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, we are called to reach out to people through showing kindness and compassion. By following Catherine McAuley’s example and that set by the Sisters of Mercy we too can ‘feed the hungry’, ‘give drink to the thirsty’, ‘shelter the homeless’ and ‘clothe the naked’. So much can be achieved just by doing our bit with the appeal.

RECONCILIATION WEEK BISCUITS
To celebrate the end of National Reconciliation Week for 2021, Reconciliation Takes Action ~ More than Words, the staff and students were treated to Lemon Myrtle and Wild Rosella biscuits made by staff with the rosella grown right on the school grounds and lemon myrtle supplied by Mrs Tatchell. Mrs H made sure that everyone was included baking gluten free biscuits! Sharing our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures is something that St Anne’s do particularly well and we are always looking at how we can take action in a variety of ways. Our attention now turns to NAIDOC celebrations with some exciting events planned. Thank you to Mrs Dickens , Mrs Penola and Mrs H for assisting, being my team of supporting cooks in helping to bake and deliver this wonderful food for everyone to share. |
