At Eastbank, Father Rob was performing on stage. There were heaps of schools and it was very loud. Father Rob was singing songs about Jesus and God. There were 5 people on stage. One guy was playing drums, a girl was playing the piano, and the other guys were playing electric guitar. Father Rob was singing while he was playing his guitar.

Today we went to Eastbank to watch Father Rob sing some songs about Jesus. He also told us about his childhood. We had to walk there and when we got there we had to sit in seats. There were other schools there too. When it started everyone was cheering, it was very loud. He sang a bunch of his songs. All the schools sat in their own spots. When it was done we had to walk back to school.

Today the Year 5/6 students went to the 2022 ABLAZE Event at Eastbank. The performance was held for the Catholic Schools in the Shepparton area. At the performance was Father Rob and he was singing songs and showing us videos about Jesus and life. The theme of the concert was “Tell the Good News'. The concert was a lot of fun.

In the morning all of the 5/6 students came into the Amphitheatre and then we started walking to Queens Gardens. Once we arrived we sat down and had our fruit. We then walked over to Eastbank. Once we got arranged into our classes we found our seats in the stands. There was a countdown till it started, and we all screamed when it finally did start. Father Rob Galea and his band walked onto stage. There were heaps of songs that we sang too. Once the concert finished we ate our lunch at the Queens Gardens then we walked back to the school.

On 5th of May the senior students at St Brendan's Primary School went to Riverlinks EastBank to join the Ablaze concert, which was held by Sandhurst Education Victoria. We went to the Queen Gardens before the concert, had a little play and went to the toilet. We then they made our way into the building. After the performance all the students exited and made our way to Queen's Garden and we all had their lunch.
It was a fun performance and we all loved it!

St Brendan's Feast Day- May 16th
Next Friday our school will celebrate the Feast of our Patron Saint, St. Brendan. St Brendan's Feast Day is on 16th May.
St. Brendan is honored as the Patron Saint of boatmen, mariners, sailors, travelers and whales. St. Brendan had courage and spread the good news to people when he sailed for seven years to many countries.
Next Friday the students will begin their Feast Day celebrations with a prayer and song about St Brendan, and then they will be involved in a Fun Run, organised by the Parents and Friends.
The students will then have organised activities in their classroom celebrating the story of
St. Brendan. We look forward to the fun festivities of the day.
Thank you to our Parents and Friends for all their organisation.
Happy St. Brendan’s Feast Day!
