St Anthony’s Catholic Kindergarten and Prep

On Thursday 4th April, St Anthony’s Catholic Kindergarten and Prep Facilities were officially blessed by Bishop Michael and opened by Director of Catholic Education, Miss Leesa Jeffcoat. 

 Rockhampton Catholic Education Early Learning and Care Coordinator, Kathryn Byrne, said the new Kindergarten facility had generated enormous interest and has been very well-supported by the local community.    “There has been a strong demand from families for Kindergarten places right from the early planning stages and it is very satisfying for Catholic Education to be able to support children and families, particularly working parents, with options that suit them,” Mrs. Byrne said. 

 Mrs Byrne said Catholic Education was particularly appreciative of the support received from Rockonia Parish (especially the Holy Family Catholic community) and St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School in establishing the new kindergarten. 

Expressions of Interest forms are available on the Catholic Education Diocese of Rockhampton website: https://www.rok.catholic.edu.au/our-schools/kindergarten/.

 Mrs Byrne said it was an exciting time for St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School and Catholic Education was pleased to be a part of such a vibrant and friendly community. The practical support offered, and many hours of planning and coordination have been integral to establishing St Anthony’s Catholic Kindergarten,” she said.

 Diocesan Director of Catholic Education, Leesa Jeffcoat, congratulated all involved in the establishment of the new Catholic Kindergarten.
