Parents and Friends
Dear families,
Welcome back to Term 3, over halfway through the year now! We are looking forward to a great Term with some fun school activities planned.
Thank you to the families who have sent through recipes for the St Brendan’s School Community Recipe Book – please keep the recipes coming!
Families are invited to share recipes that will be combined into a book. Recipes are to be submitted by 31 July 2026. Please take some time to read through the information below, a copy of the flyer was also sent home with students.
Once the book is finalised it will be professionally printed and available for sale as a fundraiser.
Please contact us by email at parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.vic.gov.au if you have any questions about P&F activities.

If you are interested in becoming a Committee Member – please contact us to have a chat. Being a part of the Committee isn’t a large time commitment and there are no set requirements of a member.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions/ suggestions.
