Sensory Garden
Just a quick update on our sensory garden. Our new bricks arrived yesterday so now that they are here we can start planning the garden. I am going to meet with Dan on Friday to discuss his plan for the garden and when we can have the Working Bee ( not dependant on Covid now but the weather!)
Camps
The staff are in the process of setting dates for our camping program for this year. We are very excited to be planning activities for the Foundation, Year 1/2 and Year 3’s who will be staying at school for longer than the normal school day.
Once the plans are finalised, we will publish the dates in the newsletter, but we will keep the activities a surprise until a bit closer to the time.

News from the Parish
Our St Mary of the Cross Food for Friends Team create delicious home-cooked meals for people in our community who at times of need might appreciate the thoughtfulness of a meal made with love. Members of the team create meals at home or together in our St Louis' parish kitchen. Dishes are frozen and made available as soon as the need arises. A great way to meet others in the parish and make a difference in the lives of others. If you would like to nominate someone/family to receive meals or if you are interested in creating meals either at home or at the kitchen at St Louis’, please contact the Parish Office.
The Justice Action Group of St Mary of the Cross also wanted to advertise the following webinar. St Brigid's families are most welcome to attend.
Mothers Day
Wishing all mums a very special Mother’s Day and I hope you get to have a little sleep in. If it is a sports day for your children I hope they play well for you and do their best. Enjoy the day with your family.
Take care and stay safe.
Wendy Sullivan
Principal
