St Anthony's School

Glen Huntly, VIC

1) Glen Huntly is a relatively affluent, inner-suburban area with a professional demographic. Based on the 2021 ABS Census QuickStats for Glen Huntly (SAL21009), the median age is 35, median weekly household income is $1,877, and median monthly mortgage repayments are $2,000. Households predominantly consist of childless couples, and the leading occupation is professional. With a median income above the national average, it can be characterized as middle-to-upper income, with a large cohort of adults aged 25-39 (approx. 37% combined) and only about 20% of the population under 15 years.

2) The specific top overseas country of birth for Glen Huntly is not explicitly listed within the provided search results, as the ABS QuickStats page for this area (SAL21009) contains the data but it was not captured in the available text snippets. The ABS page shows the "Country of birth of father, top stated responses" exists, but the actual dominant country (e.g., India, China, England) and its percentage are not stated in the supplied content. For accurate figures, one must consult the ABS QuickStats page directly, but the available snippets do not confirm any single dominant country.

3) St Anthony's Primary School Glen Huntly does not have its Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) details explicitly described in the provided school website snippet. The school's site (santglen.catholic.edu.au) focuses on enrolment, open mornings, and a free playgroup, but does not list an OSHC provider, session times, or fees. Parents would need to contact the school directly (phone 9563 6780) to enquire about OSHC and vacation care arrangements, as these are not publicly outlined in the available search results.

4) Specific extracurricular clubs at St Anthony's are not enumerated in the provided school website content. The school's messaging highlights a strong community, targeted learning support, and a Catholic values-based environment. The only concrete activity mentioned is a "Free Playgroup" every Wednesday morning (9:00–10:30am) during school terms. Without a detailed extracurricular list (e.g., sports, choir, chess, or instrumental music) in the available sources, families should request an information pack during a school tour (open mornings are available in Term Three, July/August).

5) The primary full-service grocery option in Glen Huntly is Woolworths, located at the intersection of James Street, Glen Huntly Road, and Manchester Grove. For independent or specialty options, the area features an established Asian grocery business (though its current operating name is not specified in the results) that benefits from high foot traffic on the main road. No IGA or other named supermarkets were specifically confirmed as operating within Glen Huntly itself in the provided data.

6) Glen Huntly offers a range of casual dining and takeaway options. Notable examples include: Tandoori Zaika (Indian cuisine), Anabella Pizza Restaurant at 1141 Glen Huntly Road (Italian/pizza), and Khun Thai Take Away (Thai cuisine). Additionally, a local "Burger Bliss" is listed at 1170 Glen Huntly Road for burgers. These options provide convenient, family-friendly takeaway and delivery choices.
