Deputy Principal's News
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to Term 2. The past 2 weeks have been filled with lots of exciting opportunities for our school and community. From the stellar space themed ‘Welcome Back Disco’, remembering our ANZACs during our school liturgy, to the School Athletics Carnival.
We thank all our families for supporting and assisting us at these events and making them possible!

The happy winner of our second St James produce basket is the
Marland-Lyons Family
Their favourite broccoli recipe is a pasta dish which we look forward to tasting!
Winter uniforms
A reminder that all students should be wearing their Winter Uniforms by Monday 3rd May. As we are a sunsmart school, students will need to wear their hats depending on the UV rating. Sunsmart Australia suggests wearing a hat when the UV rating is 3 and above.
COVID-19 Safety at School
At St James we have put a number of strategies in place to reduce the risk of transmission. No one strategy is 100% effective.
Here are just some of the ways we are doing to keep our Students, School community and Staff safe and well.
In light of current restrictions and inline with our School COVID Safety we ask that you respect and follow the following guidelines.
Self Isolating during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Can we kindly ask that if you or your family are required to self isolate during these times, that you inform the school via info@stjamesbrighton.catholic.edu.au so that we can offer any assistance possible.
Thank you!
Social Distancing
Thank you to all parents and carers who are helping the community to stay safe and healthy by keeping 1.5m apart at drop off and pick up times.
Although physical distancing will not apply to students in class, it does still apply to staff and parents. Therefore we ask that you respect our requests to minimise contact and continue with social distancing during drop off and pick ups, adults will also need to adhere to wearing masks when in public places including drop off and pick up when it is not possible to socially distance.
