Mission Statement
The mission of our school community is to live out the hope and compassion that Jesus taught us through the respect we show for each other. Enlivened by our happiness in being a significant part of the St Anne’s Family; and comfortable in the warm and welcoming atmosphere, our school community will encourage each person’s unique contribution. These valued and appreciated contributions will hallmark the ethos of our school.
It will be in the truly caring relationships we share, in our gestures, our courtesies, approvals, encouragement and cooperation, that we will confirm each person as special and unique, made in the image of God and especially dignified through the saving death and resurrection of Jesus.
Inspired by the love of Jesus we bring hope in our community for a better world.

Faith Education
"Learning for Life Together" is our school motto. Through this we emphasise the witness of the members of our school community – priest, parents, staff and children – the sequential and developmental Religious Education Program, and the presence of Christ with us in our school life.
Religious Education in the school extends beyond the RE lessons and the classroom. We see our role in religious education as working in partnership with the parents to lead the children closer to God and closer to an understanding of how God wants us to live our lives.
As John wrote in his gospel – "By the love you have for one another everyone will know that you are my disciples." (John 13:35)

Intellectual Goals
Our aim is for academic excellence, while keeping in mind the different rate of learning of individual children. Assistance will be provided for both the learners who need extra support and the higher achievers, but all students will be expected to work to the best of their ability at all times. All children will be educated in the use of computers and encouraged to use the Library for research and pleasure. While sound education in the basics will be provided, opportunities for the children‟s development in the cultural, social, creative and physical aspects of their education will be made available.

Personal Development of Students
We will strive to develop a healthy self-esteem in the children, encouraging them to take pride in their gifts and achievements, while recognising that each child is unique and should be treated accordingly. Because of the respect due to individuals and property, consistent and fair discipline will be maintained while allowing the children to develop and display self-discipline.

Community Building
At St Anne's School parents and teachers work together in the overall education of the children. All parents are encouraged to be active members of our school community; thereby maintaining a close family atmosphere. With trust and co-operation, the community of St Anne's will grow in its witness to Gospel values. (See also: Parent Involvement)

Organisation and Administration
It is the task of the school, but in particular the Administration team, to ensure that communication within the school is open and two-way. Two major tools for this will be the production of a regular newsletter to which all members of the school community can contribute, and our school assemblies, to which parents are invited. To ensure the efficient running of the school, administration procedures will be organised and accountable.
