Our School
ST ANNE'S PARK ORCHARDS
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, Park Orchards has a proud tradition of academic excellence, development of faith and working collaboratively with our families.
St Anne’s School is situated in Park Orchards and is fortunate to have both beautiful grounds and views of the surrounding hills. Our children mainly come from many neighbouring suburbs, which is quite an extensive area and although we are in the middle of suburbia, we have the feeling of bush all around us.
St. Anne’s School first opened its doors in 1980 and since then, numbers have steadily grown. We now operate eleven classes with a total of approximately 250 children and 30 staff. Our school buildings consist of 11 permanent learning areas along with a Library, Art Room, Digital Technologies Centre, Performing Arts Room, and Administration facility.
The Hall, which is a Parish facility, is used on the first Sunday of each month for Masses and is also used extensively by the school throughout the week.
