Parents
who wish their child to be prepared for the first sacraments
are invited to regular meetings with Fr. Maurice and Mrs
Ford. The children are prepared by Catechists in school
and at the 10.00am Sunday Mass in the Church Hall. All families
are invited to regular school/parish masses.
There is a flourishing
"Parents United" which is helping to unify the
home and school life of the children. They have organised
fund raising events which have provided items of equipment
and improvements to the facilities of the school such as
a safe outdoor play surface, carpeting for the Library,
ICT equipment and playground markings. They also organise
Social events e.g. Discos and Fashion Shows. All new parents
are especially welcome at meetings.
We are also pleased when parents volunteer
to work with children in school time. Presently parents
assist with baking, small group activities, reading, sewing
and library.
Our school council
is delighted to be involved in a community project involving
a local 'Junior Council'. This will consist of children
from St Anthony's and other local schools who will meet
regularly to discus way of improving Victoria Park. We will
keep you informed as the project progresses.
