"Never see a need without doing something about it"
Come and see how we stand out from the rest.

 

"We have attended St Anthony’s for six years with our

three children. We have loved the small class sizes

providing our children with some much support, care

and focus. St Anthony’s offers a fabulous community

of parents and teachers that really care and know how

to get the best out of your children."

Gemma

"St Anthony’s is the perfect learning environment for our child. It has a lovely community feel with wonderful, experienced teaching staff. As soon as we toured the school we knew it was the perfect fit, as it is a nurturing environment where it feels as though everyone knows each other and the kids are happy."

OUR HISTORY

St Anthony’s Primary School Alphington, was established in 1917 by the Josephite Sisters and has a proud history of supporting the community. 

 

The school opened its doors at 43 Austin Street with Sister Isobel Colvin as its Principal with the latest building development named in her honour. From a humble two classroom building, we now boast 12 classrooms, multi-learning areas and a newly renovated playground in 2021.

 

The school moved to its present site in 1934. The Josephites lead the school up to 1974.

 

In 2017 the school celebrated 100 years of Catholic Education.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people from the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners and custodians of this land on which we are situated. 

We are honoured to respectfully share their stories and experiences of deep spirituality and connection to land, fauna, flora and community.

We commit to seeking reconciliation, unity and equality through prayer and practice.

As a Fire Carrier School we strive to ignite a deeper awareness, respect and understanding of our First Nations People. We will do this by educating our school community and broader community in our shared Aboriginal history, present issues and significant dates, and future hopes.
