Parents and Friends
Dear families,
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s and mother figures in the school community!
It’s been a busy few weeks at school, well done to the school leadership and teachers for organising various events for the children.
Tomorrow will be a busy day with St Brendan’s Feast Day celebrations, always an exciting day on the St Brendan’s calendar.
We hope to schedule more events/fundraisers soon, please contact us if you have any ideas.

Review of events and fundraisers
Mother’s Day Stall
Thank you to the families who supported the Mother’s Day Stall, there was a great variety of gifts on offer. Over 90 students purchased items to gift to someone special.
The Stall is also a fundraiser, raising around $300. We look forward to discussing with the school leadership how this can be spent.
Mother’s Day Celebration
It was lovely to see so many mother’s and special mother figures attend the Mother’s Day Celebration last Thursday morning.
The assembly and prayer by the children was a special way to celebrate. The children also enjoyed sharing activities in the classroom with their special visitors.
We hope everyone had a Happy Mother’s Day!
