At St Anne’s we believe in providing a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities to enable every member of our school the chance to flourish.

While discovering and developing their interests the children will grow in friendship, kindness, patience and respect for one another. 

Autumn extra curriculum

The Girls Football is open for girls from Years 1 & 2 who are new to football or regularly play.

The girls will also have opportunities to participate in inter schools’ competitions.
