A note from Mr Pardini

First Reconciliation

Congratulations to Albie, Caelan, Oliver, Stella and Levi who yesterday celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Supported by their class mates, these students attended a Liturgy and then made their first ever reconcilation with Father Roshan. Following Reconciliation, the children all shared a delicious cake to celebrate! Congratulations. 

Parent Teacher Interviews - early close

A reminder to all families, Wednesday 5 April will be an early close. We ask for your support making arrangements to collect your child at 12.00pm on this day to assist with Parent interviews. Thank you.

Road Safety

May I draw your attention to the section below on bike safety! We have been contacted by the Police to ask if we could spread the word about our local 'lollipop' crosswalk on Steere Street. It has become apparent, some students from St Brigid's are choosing to cross outside of this designated area. Please remind your children, they must use this safe zone when crossing Steere Street. 

Also, it has been reported that some students are not wearing a helmet when riding scooters. It is a safety recommendation to protect your head when riding, so please discuss this with your child. I often witness the speeds scooters can reach when riding down-hill, so it is in your child's best interest to wear a helmet. Thank you. 

Three Year Old Pre-Kindy Information Session

An information session will be held during Week 10 on Tuesday 4 April 9.30am in the Kindy room. This session is for parents of children commencing our Three Year Old Pre-Kindy program next term. Supervision will be available for the children to play outside during the meeting.

Enjoy the weekend ahead everyone!
