A reminder to all families to continue to check the school calendar on our website for dates and events that are coming along during the term.

It was a great day for our Faction Cross Country event on Friday 5 June, as our students participated with great enthusiasm.

Days like this always provide opportunities for our students to display our school values – Service, Courage, Acceptance and Peace. I congratulate all students for their efforts on the day. I also congratulate our medal winners and the overall winning faction, Mercy.

Thank you to Mr Sam Harris (Physical Education Teacher) for his organisation of the day.

We keep our First Communicants in our thoughts and prayers as they prepare for this special milestone.

I sincerely thank our Year Four teachers, Ms Dee Campbell, and Fr Rodrigo for their dedication, support, and organisation.

All families are warmly invited to join us at St Brigid’s Church on Sunday 14 June at 11:00am for Mass, during which our Year Four students will participate in the Eucharist for the first time.

Parents and caregivers are reminded that school photos will be taking place on Tuesday 16 June for Kindergarten – Year Six students.

Our Pre-Kindy students will have their school photos on Monday 29 June.

Our school has engaged MSP Photography this year and families have been provided with information regarding ordering.

Rev Mark Powell (Director of Religious Education, CEWA) will be visiting our school on Wednesday 17 June from 9:00am-12:00pm.

The purpose of Executive Visits is to foster strong relationships between schools and the Catholic Education Office. During these visits, members of CEWA’s Executive Team have the opportunity to build relationships, offer support and gain a greater understanding of each school’s context.

Mark looks forward to connecting with staff and students during his visit.

If your child requires prescription medication during school hours, please ensure that the school is provided with written documentation from the doctor outlining dosage and administration requirements.

A School Medication Record will also need to be completed (available at the school office). As the school is responsible for students during the school day, a written note from parents does not suffice.

If circumstances change, the medical advice from the doctor must be updated. Please ensure that medication is provided in the original packaging.

Medication will be administered through the school office moving forward.

As advised through Seesaw over the last week, our Term Three Staff Professional Development Day (Pupil Free Day) has needed to be moved from Monday 20 July to Tuesday 25 August.

Students will now begin Term Two on Monday 20 July, with a four-day long weekend for parents later in the term, with Pupil Free Days Monday 24 August and Tuesday 25 August.

The Confirmation Workshop for students and families preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this year will proceed as planned on Tuesday 25 August, commencing at 4:30pm in MacKillop Hall.

Today the First Communion candidates and their teachers to St Brigid’s Church by bus for a rehearsal and Reconciliation liturgy.

Sunday (14th June) is such a special occasion with these children receiving Jesus in communion for the very first time. Families are asked to ensure please keep these children, their families and teachers in your prayers as they prepare.

Families of Year 6 students are reminded to register with St Brigid’s Parish (Midland) for these students to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation next term.

WOW! I am overwhelmed at how many tickets have been in each RAD Rewards box every fortnight! It is wonderful to see so many children being rewarded for making great choices.

Our remaining draws will take place this week, and also in Weeks 8 and 10 – plenty more opportunities for a chance to be part of Lunch With Leadership in Week 11. Students attending Lunch With Leadership DO NOT need to bring their lunch on the day.

STAGE 2: TOKENS – Faction AND Whole School Reward (Coming Soon….. in Term 3)

Staff will continue to hand out raffle tickets, and we will continue to draw one person from each year group to join Lunch With Leadership at merit assemblies.

• Students continue to earn raffle tickets BUT will also receive a faction token.
• Faction Token Holders will be positioned outside the Library.
• The Faction with the most tokens at the end of each term will have 15mins extra play AND an icy pole (ONE day in the last week of term).
• School community updated at each Merit Assembly about how many tokens each faction has accumulated so far.
• Faction tokens will also be combined towards a whole school goal and reward at the end of the year.

At St Brigid’s, we are excited to begin our Waste Free Wednesdays as part of our commitment to caring for the environment and “loving our Earth.”

Each Wednesday, we encourage all students and staff to bring a waste-free lunchbox and avoid any plastic wrapping. Together, we can make a big difference… one small change at a time!

✅ Ideas for a waste-free lunch:

• Pack snacks and lunches in reusable containers

🚫 What to avoid:

• Plastic bags, cling wrap, or foil

• Disposable bottles and juice boxes

• Snacks packaged in plastic

Let’s work together to reduce waste and build sustainable habits for our children.

♻️ Saving the planet one Wednesday at a time!

Thank you for your support!
