A message from our Principal
Dear St. Brendan's School Community,
The last few weeks have had a large number of students and staff unwell. Most have had the flu/virus that is going around and have been very unwell. Today we have 100 students and five staff away due to illness.
I know it's difficult with work commitments etc, however students need to be fully recovered before they return to school as this illness will continue to spread.
Thanks very much for your understanding.
