Science Week 2025 – Decoding the Universe

This week, Padua came alive with curiosity and discovery as we celebrated Science Week 2025 under the theme Decoding the Universe. Our students explored the hidden language of nature through a series of hands-on, inquiry-based stations designed to spark wonder and encourage scientific thinking.

Paired in buddy groups, older students guided younger learners through activities connected to the four elements, Sun, Earth, Water, and Wind, as well as special First Nations perspectives on the natural world. From launching air rockets to decoding animal tracks, every station invited students to ask questions, make predictions, and see science in action.

These experiences didn’t just entertain, they built teamwork, problem-solving and observational skills, all while deepening our connection to the world around us.

A huge thank you to our staff, students and helpers who made this week possible.

Happy Science Week 

Spelling Bee Champions!

Last night, eight of our incredible students represented St. Anthony's at the Annual Townsville Catholic Schools Spelling Bee. The competition was intense, but our students represented us amazingly. We are so proud of their hard work, preparation, and confidence on the night.

A huge well done to our dedicated spellers! They truly made us proud.
