Organisation

Specialists

At St Brigid’s all Foundation students will participate in several specialist subjects.  These take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays,  Thursdays, and Fridays.

Tuesday - Physical Education (PE) and Visual Arts  

Thursday - Performing Arts and Italian on a fortnightly rotation.

Friday - STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

Please note: This means that ALL Foundation students need to wear their sports uniforms on TUESDAY (for PE).

All Foundation students also participate in PMP (Perceptual Motor Program).   PMP is a movement-based program which helps younger students improve their hand/eye and foot/eye coordination, fitness, balance, locomotion and eye-tracking skills. Students will participate in PMP on Mondays and Thursdays.  The students will be wearing their normal school uniform for PMP but will be removing their shoes and socks.  We would appreciate it if you could practice this at home and please make sure their shoes and socks are clearly labelled.

Library Day 

All Foundation students will be visiting the Library every Monday. In this time they will be allowed to borrow 1 Library book that they can read at home over the week and change the following week.  Please make sure your child has a library bag on Mondays. 

Take Home Reading

During next week all students will begin to take home sight words and 5 books a week for reading.   We ask that you read with your child every night and fill in the reading journal.  These will be monitored at school.  Each student has been given a day that they will need to bring in their readers for changing and words for testing. More information will be sent home at that time.
