Meta Description:

Father Jose Pedro Santa Anna de Cunha of Saint Joseph’s Church established a school for underprivileged parishioners in August 1879.

History:

As a result, the Saint Anna’s School in Middle Road started with six kids enrolled. The school got renamed Saint Anthony’s Boys’ & Girls’ School in 1886.

When the first four Canossian sisters arrived to head the Portuguese Mission school, it was a haven for the impoverished and neglected. The turn of the century signalled the start of a new era for the school. In 1906, Saint Anthony’s Girls’ School became Saint Anthony’s Convent.

A new church, nuns’ rooms, a kindergarten, and the first Junior Cambridge class (equivalent to Secondary 3 or 4) got added. In 2002, St. Anthony’s Canossian Secondary School was granted autonomous school status in honour of its outstanding academic and co-curricular achievements. The year came to a close with a – historic event. Sr. Cecily Pavri was the final Canossian Sister-Principal to manage the school after 108 years of Sister-Principals. 

In 2004, SACSS got formally recognized as a Performing Arts Education (PfE) speciality. SACSS took another step forward in its PfE program in 2005 when Drama – was introduced as an O-level School Initiated Examination (OSIE). In 2007, the school was honoured with another important award, the Best Practice Award for Teaching and Learning.
