STUDENT NEWS

Welcome to the Year 6 leadership groups first newsletter for 2023. We are very excited to be sharing what's happening at St Brigid’s with you.

Each fortnight the Year 6 Leadership groups will have the opportunity to write the newsletter. This week it was the Arts and Culture group and in a fortnight the Technology group will write the newsletter.

Students from Year 4 to 6 went to swimming trials today. It is where you swim in either freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly and get timed to see who will make the St Brigid's swim team.
