About St. Anthony's Canossian Primary School
St. Anthony's Canossian Primary School is a girls' primary school in Singapore, in the East zone.
It offers 11 CCAs.
School overview
The school traces its roots to St Anna’s School, opened on 1 August 1879 for children of poor parishioners at Middle Road. Boys and girls separated in 1893, and Canossian sisters took over the girls’ school in December 1894. Primary and secondary administration separated in 1971. Both schools moved to Bedok North Avenue 4 in 1995 and adopted the St Anthony’s Canossian names. This shared heritage should not blur their present programmes: secondary performing-arts or admission arrangements are not automatically primary-school offerings.
The English department uses STELLAR 2.0 from Primary 1–6. Primary 1 has a four-week speech-and-drama workshop culminating in choral poetry; Primary 2 has eight weeks of Readers’ Theatre, with every pupil taking a role. Both levels showcase during Learning Week. Primary 3–6 Writer’s Workshop uses mini-lessons, individual conferencing, editing and publication. The 2026 inaugural Reading Festival focused on overlooked community contributors through Ames Chen’s Invisible People books. These describe opportunities and a dated event, not proof that every child becomes equally confident in speaking or writing.
