Principal's Message
Prayer for ANZAC DAY
Gracious and loving God, the cross of Christ is the sign of
your desire for justice and peace for all.
Open our minds to your vision as we remember all who
suffered through Australia and New Zealand’s involvement in
wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
Grant all service persons who sacrificed health and life for the
good of all, the gift of your deep peace.
May we who inherit the freedom for which they fought
become instruments of your peace in our homes,
workplaces and the world.
We ask this prayer through
Christ our Lord,
Amen.
St Brigid's Primary School Ballan wishes to acknowledge respectfully the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, work, learn, play and gather. We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Dear Members of our St Brigid’s Community,
Welcome back to Term 2!
I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter break with your loved ones. We were very excited to be welcoming all children back to school today as we commence Term 2. This term, we are very excited to welcome Pam Sharpe back to St Brigid’s.
Yesterday was ANZAC Day - one of Australia’s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. A big thank you to our School Captains and families who attended the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at McLean reserve in Ballan yesterday. Aoife, Clara and Angus presented a meaningful speech at the service about the story of Simpson and his Donkey.
Prior to the end of term, two Shade Sails were installed and throughout the holidays, works around our school continued including security lighting around our school, gardening and general maintenance - our school is looking fabulous!
This term we are excited to welcome mothers, grandmothers and special women in our lives to our Mother’s Day Breakfast and Liturgy on Friday 12th May. We will commence our celebration with breakfast from 8:30am in the Gathering Space (mother’s grandmother’s and special women only), followed by a Liturgy with the children at 9:00am at St Brigid’s Church).
We look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure that your child has a successful and enjoyable term ahead. Together, we can support your child to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. Thank you for your continued support, and we wish you and your family all the best for the term ahead.
Take care and God bless,
Jayne Bosworth
