Principal's News

Dear Parents and Friends,

Another big week here at St Brigid’s. We had Reconciliation, Cross Country and our Family Picnic which will occur on Friday.

Congratulations to our Year 4 children and Jette who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesday. I have to say how well prepared the children were - thank you to Ange Kavadias, Loretta Flavelle, Alysee Pirovano, Libby Young, Deborah Patterson, Sigi Goetze and Jodie Marziano for the work they completed with the children. I was so proud of the children in the way they presented themselves and the reverence they showed during the service. 

Congratulations to all our children who competed in the cross country event today, you all tried your very best and I was so proud of how you all cheered and congratulated each other.

Walkers Wanted

Early this term we had enrolment flyers distributed around the Mordialloc/Parkdale, Waterways and Aspendale Gardens area.  We have had another batch of flyers printed for distribution and we are looking for parent walkers. If you would be able to distribute some of our flyers to your street and some surrounding streets that would be fabulous.  Please see Tracey in the office.
