National Tree Day!

Our SRC members with one of our two new Jacaranda trees

Planet Ark's National Tree Day started in 1996 and has grown into Australia's largest community tree planting and nature care event. It's a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to the community.

St Brigid's School celebrated National Tree Day with the generosity of the Port Adelaide Enfield City Council and their 'Get Shady' Project. Port Adelaide Enfield City Council kindly offered our community new trees. Our SRC members (Haseeb - Year 6, Elisa - Year 4, Amy - Year 3, Mohammad - Year 2, Daniel - Year 1, and Farwa - Year 1) identified the garden and nature as areas they would like to improve in the St Brigid's Community. With the helpful guidance of Ms Pauline, our SRC members were able to witness their idea become a reality! Through the generosity of the PAE City Council, we now have two Jacaranda trees in our beautiful community.

A big thank you to the Port Adelaide Enfield City Council! We're all looking forward to seeing what our SRC members do next for our school community.

National Science Week!

This week is National Science Week! This year's theme is 'Innovation: Powering Future Industries' and at St Brigid's School every student has had the opportunity to participate in a range of activities in class, at recess and in OSHC.

Activities included:

Straw Rockets - A challenge who could construct a straw rocket that can travel the longest distance whilst changing variables, such as launch angle, fins and force.
Binary Bracelets - Students matched coded their names using binary code, and matched the numbers with colours which gave them the colourful pattern of their bracelet.

Here's some photos of the fun we've had so far this week:
