A message from our Principal
Dear St. Brendan's School Community,
Our Year 5/6 students thoroughly enjoyed the ABLAZE event which saw the official launch of the Sandhurst 2022 theme "Tell the Good News".
The students loved listening to Father Rob singing and the other guest speakers.
Staff also attended yesterday after school to listen to the guest speakers.
Anzac Day Ceremony
Many thanks to Marnie Morgan and Abel Chandler who represented our school by laying a Wreath at the Cenotaph in Welsford Street. Abel also marched with the Scouts.
Both students were very respectful. Mr Brian, Mrs Pellegrino and myself who attended were very proud of Marie and Abel.
