Dear Parents and Friends of St Anne’s

Four bat tennis nets have just arrived at school - they were used by our students for the first time today. We are most grateful to our wonderful Parents and Friends Association for donating the money to pay for the nets. They are certain to be a most popular addition to our playground.

I hope that our Greek Orthodox families enjoyed their Easter Sunday.

I trust that all mothers connected with the St Anne’s community have a wonderful Mothers Day on Sunday - you certainly deserve it!

The Interschool Snowsports Championships are back on this year will take place on Monday 24th & Tuesday 25th August 2021 at Mt Buller.

The Interschools Snowsport Championships provide an opportunity for Australian school students of all ages to experience competitive snowsports. Competitors from all ability levels are encouraged to enter, with an emphasis on fun and participation. Students from Foundation to Year 6 can represent St Anne's, but it is recommended they have some skiing experience.

On-mountain accommodation on the Sunday, Monday & Tuesday nights will book up quickly so if your children would like to join the team and you wish to stay on the mountain, booking early is essential.
