Hello everyone, 

I hope everyone has had a great start to the term. I’m thrilled to be stepping into the role of P.E. teacher this year at St. Brendan’s. This week, I’m looking forward to meeting students in their first lesson as we kick things off with some fun introductory and team-building activities. I’m confident it’s going to be a positive and exciting year for sport at our school. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's participation in P.E. or any information you'd like to share, please do so via email tporter@sbsomerville.catholic.edu.au or give me a call on 5977 7277. 

Kind regards,

Tom Porter
