NEWS FROM MRS SULLIVAN

ST VINCENT DE PAUL FOOD DRIVE

Tomorrow our students are asked to bring a donation for St Vincent de Paul. The shelves are running very low at St. Brigids and they are in desperate need of pasta sauce, grocery items and toiletries. All donations will be gladly accepted. Please check the useby dates.  We as a community are so very generous whenever Barry from St Vincent de Paul calls for our help and we thank you for that generosity! Donations can be left at the office.  

 

CHANGE OF DATE FOR STUDENT LED CONFERENCES

As you may be aware our date for Confirmation has recently been changed.  The new date for Confirmation means our Family Conferences were to take place in the same week.  We are now moving the Student Led Conferences to Week 3 of Term 3.  The new dates for our Family Conferences are:  Tuesday 26th July and Wednesday 27th July. We will be sending out the booking information the first week of Term 3.

 

We can no longer offer Zoom meetings for these interviews because Zoom has reinstated the length of Zoom meetings to 40 minutes.  We will be offering face to face conferences or phone meetings. 

 

Students will finish at 1:30pm on Tuesday 26 July.
