Principal's Message
At the end of this school term we pray.
That you keep us safe and give us rest
So we start again renewed and refreshed.
Full of health, full of fun
Ready to come and learn again.
May God's blessing go with us today,
As we begin our school holiday.
Give your peace and your joy,
To every girl and every boy.
Help the teachers to enjoy the break,
and prepare and plan for the new intake.
May God's blessings await us next term,
To embrace each new challenge without fear.
Fill this school with your love,
and guide our hearts from above.
Full of faith, full of hope,
full of joy, and full of love.
Amen
Dear Families,
Welcome to the last newsletter of Term 2.
It’s been another busy term in the life of our school community and I am sure that our students and staff will enjoy a well-deserved rest over the school holidays.
Our end of term also is a time of farewell and welcome. We will be saying goodbye to three staff members who have been part of the fabric of the school community over recent years.
Leela House, Emma Busuttil and Lauren Stancliffe have each made significant contributions to our school life and I know that they leave with the best wishes of everyone in the school. Each is moving onto new roles in different schools and our loss is their new schools’ gain.
Good Luck Leela, Emma and Lauren. Thank you for everything you have done for St. Brigid’s and please don’t forget us, because we won’t forget you.
We are also welcoming Tracey Speakman as our new Admin & Finance Officer, Jayne Bosworth as St. Brigid’s Acting Principal and Renee Teven as a temporary Learning Support Officer. All three have visited our school and are here again this week to assist in their settling in.
Jayne will be here all day Thursday and parents are most welcome to pop in and say hello.
We will also be welcoming Simon Bonney early next term to the staff. Simon will teach 5/6W on Tuesdays and run the school Tutoring Program on Wednesdays.
Finally, as this is also my last week here as Acting Principal, I want to thank you all for welcoming me into the St. Brigid's community. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to have filled the Principal's role and I wish you all the best moving ahead.
Stay well. Stay safe. Stay happy.
God Bless,
Anthony Clifford
