"Foundations for Inflaming Hearts & Minds in Christ"
Dear St Brigid’s Community,
Welcome to term 4 and our first edition of Spark News. As we step into the final term of the year, our College is buzzing with energy, achievements, and a renewed sense of purpose.
We’re proud to highlight a range of class updates, sporting achievements and gala days, where our students have demonstrated teamwork, resilience, and school pride. Whether on the field, court, or track, their efforts have brought our community together in support and celebration.
This edition of Spark News also features a Special Report on World Mental Health Day, reminding us of the importance of wellbeing and the power of connection. It’s a timely reflection as we continue to nurture a culture of care and support within our College.
We invite you to read the thought-provoking article from our Assistant Principal titled “Foundations for Inflaming Hearts & Minds in Christ – A 2025 Focus.” This piece sets the tone for our spiritual and educational journey ahead, offering insights into the vision that will guide us into the new year.
We hope you enjoy reading these stories.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our College community.
Mr Adam Murdoch
College Principal
