Change of Details
Dear Members of our St Brigid’s Community,
On Friday 11th November, we commemorate Remembrance Day. The 2022 Remembrance Day Service will be held at the Ballan Cenotaph at 11:00am on Friday. As with previous years, the Ballan RSL Sub-Branch has invited two students from St Brigid’s Primary School to participate in the Service by providing a short (up to five minutes) presentation on a suitable topic. Additionally, another two students have been invited to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph during the Service on behalf of the school.
A reminder that hot lunches will re-commence this Friday 11th November.
Orders and payment will take place via the new Spriggy Schools App. Please refer to the brochure (a hard copy was also sent home yesterday) for further details. Upon downloading the app and creating your account, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the St. to find St. Brigid’s Primary School. Please contact the office should you have any questions.
Have a wonderful week everyone!
Take care and God bless,
Jayne Bosworth
Principal
'Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all God has made.' Excerpt from St Brigid's Prayer
On Sunday 13th November, the Ballan Autumn Festival will take place! As a school, we are very excited to again be a part of this wonderful community event. We would love for as many families as possible to join us for the parade. The theme this year is ‘Bloomin Marvellous’. In preparation for this event, children will be making flowers at school and if attending, we are asking children, families and staff to ‘dress up’ keeping the theme in mind. Some ideas include sunshine, flowers, and vibrant colours.
We have now made the transition to Summer Uniform. Please ensure that your child is wearing the correct winter or summer uniform. Children are able to wear sports uniform each Wednesday and on classroom nominated sports day as directed by your child’s classroom teacher.
As we are a SunSmart school, it is compulsory for children to wear a navy blue wide brim school hat in Terms 1 and 4.
This term, we are very excited to continue welcoming families to our fortnightly assemblies in the Multipurpose Room. Each fortnight a class will present a small item at assembly (please refer to timetable below).
We look forward to seeing you at our assemblies!
