Groovin the Green!
Welcome to our final edition of Spark News for Term 1. Next fortnight we will release our Termly Magazine, Illuminate, where we will showcase the highlights from a very eventful Term.
Please take a moment to read through our recent news and event articles, and I sincerely thank everyone involved in these activities.
Finally, I invite all St Brigid’s families and the broader community to our inaugural ‘Groovin the Green’ festival on Friday 31st March from 3.30 pm at St Brigid’s. This event promises to be a fabulous evening for the whole family, so I look forward to seeing you there.
God bless you and your families.
Mr Adam Murdoch
College Principal
