Confirmation<br />

In 1913 Archbishop Carr confirmed 100 children and adults at <strong>St</strong> Anthony’s Church, Glen<br />

Huntly. Sponsors were Mr Coughlan and Miss Descrimes. In later years confirmation<br />

candidates selected their own individual sponsor. Sponsor prerequisites were that they be<br />

confirmed, practising Catholics of at least 16 years of age. In recent years candidates from De<br />

La Salle College Malvern have joined candidates from Sunday School and <strong>St</strong> Anthony’s<br />

School and in the Jubilee Year of 2000 the ceremony was held at <strong>St</strong> Patrick’s Cathedral with<br />

two other parishes.<br />

An Academic School<br />

From the beginning, <strong>St</strong> Anthony’s School had a reputation for academic achievement. The<br />

reports of the Government Inspectors, accounts in the Advocate and the achievements of<br />

many students in later life make this clear.<br />
