"Reflection: A Season of Renewal and Purpose"
Dear St Brigid’s Community,
As we approach the end of another term and our last edition of SPARK News for term 3, we reflect on the achievement and meaningful moments across our College community. From exciting sporting events that showcased our students’ determination and team spirit, to classroom projects that brought learning to life, it’s been a term of growth and discovery.
This edition of Spark News features stories on student sporting achievements, class updates and other activities, as well as a Special Report: R U OK? Day, which, shines a light on the growing mental health challenges faced by young people and offers practical guidance for parents and caregivers on how to talk to their children about mental wellbeing.
We invite you to read the article from our Assistant Principal, titled “Term 3 Reflection: A Season of Renewal and Purpose”, offering insights into the journey we’ve taken and the values that continue to guide us.
We hope you enjoy reading these stories and join us in celebrating the efforts and successes of our students.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our College community.
Mr Adam Murdoch
College Principal
