We value positive relationships with parents and carers to help develop better social and emotional skills in children. We know that when children are engaged with their learning, they attend school more regularly, leading to better long term outcomes.

For parenting and counselling services, visit the Family Support page, and for direction and clarity on regulations, processes and procedures at our school, read the Sydney Catholic School policies.

St Anthony of Padua Catholic College Austral, actively and passionately connects with the community through various channels such as school newsletters, Compass student information system and app, emails, phone and social media including our website. There are also many other opportunities throughout the year to communicate with the school, including ‘meet the teacher’ nights and weekly assemblies. Parents can also call and make an appointment to meet with a teacher if necessary.
