I have been involved with St Anne's school for seventeen years; first as a parent and Parishioner, and recently, as a staff member. Over the years I have had the privilege of working with the most dedicated and supportive staff at St Anne's. All three of my children were educated at St Anne's and it was the best decision my husband and I have ever made. The education they have received provided an excellent foundation for their future success at Secondary College and  has equipped them with the life skills beyond their school years.
