PARENTS CORNER

SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS:

When parents enquire about enrolling their children at St. Anne's Catholic School

they are asked why they want their children to attend our school.

More often than not they say that they have heard it is a very good school which

promotes and reflects the Gospel values, it has good discipline and high expectations

of the children.

All those involved with St. Anne's can proudly say that indeed this is true, not forgetting

that first and foremost is our Catholic identity and Mercy charism in which all these

other qualities are embedded.

St. Anne's has high expectations, not only of the children but from all groups who are

part of our school. Following is an overview from our school's Charter which outlines

what those expectations are:
