A message from our Principal
Dear St. Brendan's School Community,
Our students and staff have settled well into school life. Even though we have had students and staff away at different times, we have been able to manage and ensure all classes have had a teacher. Many thanks to our teachers who have supported others during this time.
We are organising the 3/4 Camp and we will give you dates as soon as it has been confirmed.
Sports Day Reminder:
Juniors (Foundation-2) Clothes - Green polo, Black shorts, white socks and runners to be worn on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Middle and Senior Classes - Sports Clothes to be worn on Wednesday and Thursday.
Thankyou for all parents in ensuring children are at school at 8.50am. The first bell goes then and the second bell around 8.55am. It makes it a very settled classroom if children are at school at the correct time and ready to learn.
We will inform you of the latest protocols regarding school when the Victorian Government announce the latest updates later this week. We thank parents for ensuring they wear masks when they can't physical distance in the busy drop off and pick up times. This is certainly helping to ensure our students and staff are kept safe.
