Extra Curricular
Beyond the Classroom
Here at St Anthony’s, learning doesn’t stop when the bell rings. Our extra curricular programs offer students a wide range of opportunities to discover new passions, build confidence, and connect with others. Whether it’s on the sports field, on stage, or through music and movement, every child is encouraged to get involved, have fun, and grow in their own unique way.
Sport
Saturday Sport
We’re proud to be part of the South West Region sports community, giving students in Years 3–6 the opportunity to participate in Saturday morning competitions, including:
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Netball
- Soccer
These teams are coached and managed by parents, with guidance and support from our PE teacher. Our focus is on fun, skill-building, and positive team spirit, and all families are asked to follow a simple code of conduct to ensure a respectful and inclusive sporting culture.

Each year, our students represent the school in a variety of interschool events through the South Australian Catholic Primary Schools Sports Association (SACPSSA), including:
