A message from our Principal
Dear St. Brendan's School Community,
Welcome back to all our students and families to Term 2. It was lovely to see the children so happy to be back last week.
We welcome Carmel Bicknell, our new Finance/Administration Officer who began with us Term 2 full-time. I'm sure you will make her very welcome.
Assembly - The Resurrection
It was wonderful to see so many families at our first Assembly last Friday and the Junior classes did a beautiful presentation of Easter Sunday. Their singing was beautiful. Thank you to all staff and students.
Anzac Day
Anzac Day was a beautiful day with many families at the Dawn Service and also at 11.00am Service.
Many thanks to Ivy Stevens and Hunter Corbo who lay a wreath on behalf of our school. They were extremely proud and respectful.
Anzac Day Football also is a fantastic way for people to remember all those who fought so we can live in such a beautiful country.
It was amazing to watch the before game ceremony with the MCG packed to capacity, but in silence in remembrance.
Being a Collingwood supporter, I was extremely happy at the end of the game and very impressed with Darcy Moore's speech.
