Assistant Principal Report

We have been able to secure a new date for our College Athletics Carnival and I would like to advise that our College Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday 6 September at ES Marks. A compass event will be published shortly and parents are asked to give consent for this event. 

Uniform

Please be reminded that the Uniform Code of Conduct is located in the College Diary. The wearing of the College uniform reflects our College to the wider community and the expectation therefore, is that all students maintain a high standard of neatness while wearing our uniform. The College blazer is always compulsory when the winter uniform is worn. The navy rain jacket is not to be worn with the College uniform unless it is raining. Similarly the Sport Jacket is not to be worn with the College uniform. Finally, girls who consciously wear the Sports uniform when they should be wearing the College uniform will be issued demerits. 

Also I would like to remind girls that unauthorised uploading of images, video or recordings of Brigidine students or College facilities to the internet, will result in serious consequences.

COVID Updates

Guidelines for close/household contacts

Close contacts attending school will need to adhere to the following:

• Notify the school

Reducing risk of illness in winter

I look forward to working with you this term,

Julie Norman
