Haere Mai, Welcome to

St Anthony's School

Nau mai Haere mai. At St Anthony's School, we are proud to offer a welcoming, nurturing Catholic education for students from Year 1 to Year 8.

Located in the heart of Pahiatua, we are a close community that belongs to the St Brigid’s Parish.

Founded over 100 years ago by the Brigidian Sisters, we cherish our rich history and the values that have shaped us. Our Catholic Character is at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to teaching our LIFE values: Love, Integrity, Fortitude, and Excellence. These values guide both our teaching and how we live our daily lives. We strive to provide a modern, well-resourced learning environment that prepares students for a bright future.

Our dedicated staff are passionate about delivering up-to-date teaching and learning experiences, while modeling the values that define our school. St Anthony’s is not just a school – it’s a vibrant community. Our whānau play an active role in their children’s learning, and we work together to provide the best possible educational experiences.

We would love for you to come and see what makes our school so special. We look forward to meeting you and sharing the journey of learning and growth. Come and be part of our story!

​​​​​​​Nga mihi nui,

Acting Principal Jenni Harrison

Lunch orders from Blue Moon Indian Restaurant will be open tomorrow as usual (dropped into the classroom admin boxes by 9am).

URGENT PARENT HELP NEEDED FOR ATHLETICS DAY
27 Oct 2026

Kia ora whānau,

We urgently need parent helpers to support our School Athletics Day on Friday 13 November, from 9:30am to 2:00pm.

Helpers will be needed to run events and/or support classes as they move from one event to the next.

Whole-school events like this are a wonderful opportunity for our students, but they rely on the support of our school community to make them happen.

Please let Jenni or Rae know by Thursday morning 9am if you are available to help.

Unfortunately, without enough helpers, we will not be able to run our athletics event. 

Your offer of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for supporting our St Anthony’s School.

Ngā mihi nui,
Jenni
