Update from the Public Relations Team
Thank you to everyone for a great first term! We hope you have enjoyed reading the student newsletters as much as we have enjoyed writing them. We hope you enjoyed watching the assemblies as well. We can’t wait to see everyone back at school next term. Happy Easter and have a great holiday!
Mr Whippy comes to St Brigid's - Sophie D
There was a lot of excitement on Friday when we heard the Mr Whippy music coming down the road. It was a hard decision between, chocolate dip, vanilla and sprinkles. Sprinkles was by far the best. All the kids had lots of fun staying after school playing with their friends.
Thank you Mrs Sullivan for organising Mr Whippy as a special end of Term treat.
Sports Results - Zak + Chris
On Friday 1st April the softballers and the tennis players played in the Interschool finals. The softballers won their game. They won 14 to 9 and they played Kingswood - they had a lot of fun. The tennis players lost their game 9 sets to 3 to Parkdale. Everyone who played were very good sportspeople.
Community Poster Competition - Tess
Congratulations to Iris and Harvey P, Ivy H and Xavier T for entering the community colouring competition and won the prizes for best picture. Thank you all to those who entered, It was interesting to see everyone's perspective of the community. It was very challenging to pick the winners, we hope the winners enjoyed their prizes.
Holy Week - Mrs Marziano
The middle weekend of the holidays is the most significant season in the Church calendar- Easter. As part of our learning, each level created an artistic reflection to one of the significant days using a song as the inspiration. The students artwork is displayed throughout the school and has been incorporated into a YouTube clip.
What’s happening in the Foundation & Year 1/2 - Ella & Sass
1/2 Excursion
The Year 1/2's went on excursion to CERES, which is an environmental park. The children were very excited to go on a bus ride.
Elodie - At CERES we feed chickens. We patted the chickens and went on treasure hunts. We got to take our own plants home to plant in out backyard
Flynn - We did yoga. We had lots of fun at the playground. We learnt how plants grow and the environment.
Foundation Excursion
The Foundation students went to the Mordialloc Church for their first excursion. The children were very excited to learn about the Church. They learnt about Jesus, God and Mary. They learnt about how Jesus died on the cross and how Jesus was resurrected on Easter Sunday. Here is what some of our Foundation students thought of their excursion
Gigi said- My favourite thing was when we had a fairy floss zooper dooper at the park.
Lex said- My favourite thing was to see Jesus on the cross
Sonny said- My favourite thing was To have a Pineapple zooper dooper at the park.
Grace said- my favourite thing was to see a huge Easter candle bigger than a ear 6!

MESSAGE FROM MRS SULLIVAN
I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to all the students and families for such a wonderful term - we have settled back so well and it is just lovely to see how excited our children are to be back at school. Mind you it has been a long term and we have a few tired children and staff!
It was great to see so many of our families stay back and catch up with each other - the children were very excited with the Mr Whippy van! I enjoyed catching up and chatting with our parents and that is what St Brigid’s is all about - community. We are here for each other and seeing our families on Friday night certainly showed what a great community we are.
I wish you all a lovely holiday. If you are traveling stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all back at school on Wednesday 27th April. (Tuesday 26th is a school closure day - we are doing our First Aid Training)
Take care and stay safe.
Wendy Sullivan
Principal
