News of the Week

Good Afternoon Parents and Guardians,  

Welcome to this weeks Student newsletter. 

In this newsletter, we will be talking about Swimming Trials, Interschool Sports, our first assembly of the year which included the Leadership Groups, Wellbeing Reps and Foundation Buddy Bears and our first Leadership Day. We also interviewed members of each class about what they have been learning.

Swimming Training and Breakfasts - Good luck to swimmers on Monday

For the last two weeks, the school swimmers have attended swimming training on Tuesday 11th and Tuesday 18th. After an hour of training we go back to the school and get breakfast where we could have cereal like Wheat-Bix or Nutri Grain. We could also have toast with toppings of vegemite,  jam and butter. 

The competition is on Monday.  We all wish good luck to the swimmers.

Interschool Sport vs St John Vianney’s (Results)

Last Friday we did Interschool sports at St John Vianney´s.  The sports played were cricket, volleyball and tennis.  Sadly we lost. We went on a bus to St John Vianney's home ground. It was a great experience to play against another school. 

FIRST ASSEMBLY - Wellbeing Reps, Leadership Groups, Buddy Bears

Last Friday we awarded our Term 1 Wellbeing Rep badges and our Year 6 Leader badges at our first assembly for the year.  The Year 6’s also gave their buddies a purple Buddy Bear for being a part of St Brigid's school and for being their buddy. Our Leadership Groups for 2025 were also announced.

It was a special day for the Term 1 Wellbeing Reps because they were given their badges.

On Wednesday the Year Sixes went to a Leadership Day  at St Louis de Montfort Primary School.  We did lots of fun activities. We learnt about different types of leadership and their catch phrases. We played a game called ´You've got mail´ where you make a big circle and the teacher says ¨you've got mail if you ….¨ then if you'd done that you would find another spot in the circle. We had two play sessions each 15 minutes.

Little Learners Love Literacy

Last night we had an information night and so many parents are interested in their children's learning and education.  Thank you to the families that came along.

Interview with Mrs Sullivan

How do you think the year started?

I think it started really smoothly.  Going on camp early helped our Year 5/6's to make new friends. I also think the preps have settled in so well and are always so energetic.   

What are you looking forward to?

I'm looking forward to the library being finished. I''m also looking forward to all the children having fun with activities like interschool sports, our School Production in term three and many other exciting things.

What are you enjoying?

I am enjoying teaching the year 3's math and we both have learned so much because it is new for me and them.
