Year 7 Launch Camp
What a great day for our Year 7 students who are on their first St Brigid's camp in Robe this week!
Umpires Clinic
On Tuesday, a group of our students participated in an AFL umpire clinic and information session. The umpires began with a presentation about their careers as umpires, sharing with students the benefits of being an umpire, their training schedules, the push for more female umpires and their journey of becoming an AFL umpire.
The umpires then taught the group how to complete a boundary throw in and a centre bounce.
Thanks to the umpires for making the trip and putting on a great session for our students!
