Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of St Brendan’s,

 

Celebrating a Wonderful Term Together!

 

As Term 2 draws to a close, it is truly satisfying to reflect with joy and gratitude on a term full of special  moments, so much learning, growth and community spirit. Our students, staff, and families have all contributed to making this term a memorable one, and there is so much to celebrate.

 

This term was filled with special events and milestones, including:

  • A truly memorable 30th Anniversary Mass and Celebration, bringing together past and present members of our community

  • Our Year 4 students receiving their First Eucharist, supported by their families and teachers

  • Participation and perseverance on display in both our School Cross Country and Inter School Winter Sports

  • Wonderful class-led assemblies and whole school Masses that strengthened our sense of community and faith

  • Our wonderful Student Representative Council (SRC), who showed leadership and generosity by sharing their ideas and opinions, and purchasing fun and useful equipment for each class

  • Dedicated and engaged gardeners who worked closely with Mrs Coggin on our Green Team

  • A beautiful Mother’s Day Mass and Stall, honouring the special women in our lives

  • Not one, but two fantastic school discos that had students dancing the night away

  • The inaugural St Brendan’s Women’s Lunch, celebrating the strength and connection of women in our community

  • A fun and energetic Kinect2Dance Incursion that had students engaged and moving throughout a wonderful program

  • Warm and welcoming Foundation Interviews, as we look ahead to the 2026 school year

  • A joyful celebration of St Brendan’s Feast Day, reflecting on our patron saint’s values and character strengths.

  • A strong turnout for Walk to School Day, encouraging healthy habits and environmental awareness

  • A reflective Confirmation Parent-Child Workshop in preparation for this important sacrament

  • Year 4 students taking part in an engaging Padua Taster Day, exploring their learning potential

  • The start of rehearsals for our much-anticipated production of Frozen Junior . The  excitement is already building

  • Our Year 3 and 5 students participating responsibly in NAPLAN testing, showing resilience and focus

  • Thoughtful and productive Parent Teacher Interviews, strengthening the partnership between home and school

Throughout the term, we’ve seen so much growth, academically, socially, and spiritually. We are truly proud of our students' efforts and achievements. Thank you to all families for your continued support, encouragement, and involvement in our school community.

 

We wish everyone a restful and safe holiday break, and we look forward to another term of learning and fun in Term 3.
