It is part of the Canossian (Canossian Daughters of Charity, FDCC) family of Catholic girls' schools in Singapore. The school is well regarded for its dance and drama programmes, which widened students' appreciation of arts as well as cater to the unique needs of students with different artistic talents through the expanded range of programmes. HistoryIn August 1879, Fr Jose Pedro Santa Anna de Cunha of St Joseph's Church started a school for poor parishioners. As a result, the St. Anna's School with an enrolment of six students opened in Middle Road. In 1886, the school became known as St. Anthony's Boys' & Girls' School. The boys' and girls' school split 15 years later. The first four Canossian sisters arrived to run the Portuguese Mission school, and there the poor and neglected found refuge. The younger girls attended school while the older ones learned sewing and embroidery. The 1900s marked the beginning of a new era for the school. St. Anthony's Girls' School was renamed St. Anthony's Convent in 1906. Subsequently, a new chapel, quarters for the nuns, a kindergarten and first Junior Cambridge class (equivalent to Secondary 3 or 4) were added. The school buildings survived the war and Japanese Occupation. The Japanese military police took over the school and the sisters were placed under house arrest. When the war ended, the buildings were used to house war orphans. In 1952, the wooden convent was demolished and a 5-storey building was constructed in its place. The following year, the new school was officially opened. In 2002, the school introduced a new uniform to commemorate its first year of being a government-aided autonomous girls' school. 2002 ended with a watershed historical event of the handover of stewardship of St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School to its first lay principal in its 108-year history. Sr. Cecily Pavri, being the last Canossian nun to lead the school, handed over the reins of leadership to vice-principal Jennifer Loh on January 1, 2003.[1] In 2002, the school received recognition for its niche in performing arts education. Present-daySt. Anthony's Canossian Secondary clinched the MOE Best Practice Teaching and Learning Award in 2007. The school was accorded the School Distinction Award by the Ministry of Education in 2008, and subsequently the Singapore Quality Class award in 2009 and MOE Character Development Award in 2010. In 2010, the school was concurrently awarded MOE Sustained Value Added Award (Acacdemic) 9th award. {{Citation needed|date=September 2017}} In January 2011, St. Anthony's underwent renovations through the PRIME programme. Construction was slated to be completed by the end of 2012. Classes were held at temporary premises in Changi. The school maintains relationships with other students from Roman Catholic schools in Singapore such as the St. Patrick's School boys and CHIJ convent girls. AffiliationSACSS is affiliated to:
