St Anthony's School

What St Anthony's School does

St Anthony's School is a co-educational Catholic primary school located at 121 Somerset Road, Kedron, in Brisbane's inner northern suburbs, serving approximately 700 students from Prep to Year 6. The school was founded on January 26, 1930 by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, Sisters Agnella and Dympna, after land was purchased for 3,000 pounds and the school built for 2,000 pounds. It operates under the governance of Brisbane Catholic Education within the Archdiocese of Brisbane, while maintaining its own Franciscan charism rooted in St Francis, St Anthony, and St Clare. The school is part of the FOTH (Franciscans on the Hill) cluster alongside Mt Alvernia College (girls' secondary) and Padua College (boys' secondary), forming a continuous Prep-to-Year-12 pathway on the same Kedron hill site.

The school's core product is a faith-based primary education combining the full Australian Curriculum (English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, The Arts, Technologies, Health and Physical Education) with a Religious Education program grounded in the BCE Religion Curriculum and Franciscan tradition. It also offers a Learning Support team providing speech pathology, guidance counselling, and individual/group programs for diverse learners, a CARE-based positive behaviours framework, an extensive co-curricular program covering sport, music, debating, STEM, coding, robotics, and overnight camps, and pastoral care grounded in parish integration.

The business model is recurring tuition and enrolment fees, supplemented by levies, uniform shop, tuckshop, and partner-delivered outside-school-hours care. Application fees are $80 non-refundable; confirmation fees are $300 for new families and $150 for existing families, with annual fee schedules referenced but not detailed in source material. The school is led by Acting Principal Aimee Bodley, with Jenniffer Lever as Acting Assistant Principal and Michael Stokes as Assistant Principal Religious Education. No proprietary technology platform, app, or API exists; the school runs on standard BCE administrative systems including Office 365, QKR, and SharePoint.
