You are right! However, behind the scenes at St Anthony’s parent council are working hard to ensure we have donations for stalls, any item will be gratefully received. Please hand in to church office. The support that the St Mary’s church family has given St Anthony’s has been pivotal in a lot of our success and it doesn’t go unnoticed. We thank you for all your continued support, especially in a time when know it’s difficult for many. Essentially, this is why we at The Parents council do what we do! We want our children to have the best education and extra school experience as possible, hence why we are able to provide brilliant experiences free or at a small fee to the parents.

We always appreciate your support and continued support! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
