Week 4 already? Time really does fly when you’re having fun! So far this term, It’s been a whirlwind of discovery, growth, and excitement, and we’re thrilled with all the learning and joy we’ve shared. Looking ahead, we’re excited for the continued learning opportunities and upcoming events such as excursions, Water Safety Week, and our school Christmas Carol concert, as well as the many end-of-year activities. So many enriching opportunities and memorable experiences await us—we look forward to sharing them together!

Enrolments for 2025

We are currently conducting enrolment interviews for 2025. It has been incredibly rewarding to hear that so many prospective families have learned about our school through recommendations from current and former families and friends with children who attend or have attended St Brigid's. This is a wonderful testament to the quality of education we are committed to providing here at St Brigid’s School.

As we finalise classes for 2025, we encourage interested families, friends, and neighbours to submit their enrolment forms soon to secure a spot and avoid any possible disappointment. We are also hosting two upcoming school tours for prospective families on Tuesday, 12th November, at 10 am and 5 pm. Please continue to spread the word!

Class Placements for 2025

We are currently finalising class structures for 2025. As a small school, with various numbers in different year levels we often have to consider different combinations of classes, allowing us to best support the unique needs of our students. Our teachers invest significant time and professional judgment in the class placement process, drawing on their deep understanding of each student’s academic, social, and emotional needs.

We also value parental input in this process, so we invite you to share any important information regarding your child’s learning needs, social or emotional considerations, or family circumstances (e.g., sibling or cousin placements). However, please note that while we will do our best to accommodate these requests, the class structure may mean it is not always possible to fulfill every preference. Please email info@stb.catholic.edu.au with subject heading: Class Placement.

Additionally, if you know your child will not be returning in 2025, please let us know either through the front office or email info@stb.catholic.edu.au 

Contact Details Update

If you’ve recently changed your address or contact details, please inform the Front Office as soon as possible. Having your correct address and phone number on file is essential, not only to ensure you receive all important correspondence by mail, email, phone, or SMS, but also so we can reach you quickly in case of an emergency.

2025 FEES

We are pleased to inform our school families that there will NO increase in school fees for the 2025 school year. 

It is at the heart of Catholic education that our schools are affordable and accessible to all.

If any family has financial concerns, please contact myself or Damien Emery to confidentially discuss financial support. 

We look forward to working together throughout this exciting term ahead.

Yours in Love, Peace and Learning,

Paula Burns
