St Antony's

God is at the heart of our school

Young Franciscans

Young Franciscans

 

Our school Chaplainacy team are known as 'The Young Franciscans'. Our Young Franciscans group consists of ten children from Years 3-6. Their mission is to make a difference in our community through responding  through action and prayer. The group meet regularly to discuss the needs in our community and how we, as a school can respond and help those who are most in need. 

 

The Young Franciscans also work within our school community leading prayer based initiatives and whole school assemblies, as we continue our journey in faith. We aim to follow in the footsteps of St Francis and his virtues to be seen through all of our actions.
