St. Anthony’s Primary School celebrated its 145th anniversary of its founding on 10 November Saturday with the celebration of Holy Mass and a dinner organized by its alumni. The theme song for the event is “Light the way” (https://youtu.be/QQxmBdYYmO0).
The school was set up by the Portuguese Mission under the auspices of the Bishop of Macao in 1879 and was handed over to the La Salle Brothers in 1939. Their 145th anniversary activities included a 20km symbolic walk from their old site to the present school located in the western part of Singapore. The fiesta held on 16 November 2024 was its students’ efforts to exemplify the Lasallian value of service for which funds were raised for HopeHouse.
