2020 CHRISTMAS STORY ART EXHIBITION

The 12 students who worked on this project during Term 3 did an awesome job. It was a very tough decision to make about which three entries would progress to the exhibition at the Wollongong Art Gallery. Thank you to Mrs Arthur-Worsop for facilitating the experience for the students.

Congratulations to the following students:

Preliminary judging took place at the Marian Centre  on Tuesday 22 September by a team of judges. Congratulations to Lila J who was successful in proceeding to the CEDoW exhibition. This is a wonderful achievement for Lila and St Brigid's.

GYMNASTICS PROGRAM TERM 4

Tri-skills will deliver an 8-week gymnastics program to the students each Wednesday throughout Term 4. 

Students in Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 focus on ‘developing foundation movement proficiencies’. They learn how to land and travel safely, move in different ways and directions, jump and turn, and move together in simple patterns. 

Students in Year 3 and 4 focus on ‘building fundamental movement proficiencies’. They combine the elements of effort, space, objects and people to perform movement sequences. Students learn how to perform safe landings, balances, rotations, jumps, swings and sequences with others. 

Students in Year 5 and 6 focus on ‘advancing movement proficiencies’. The advanced movement proficiencies provide a sound basis for involvement in a wide range of sport and recreational pursuits. The students learn how to control different landings, dynamic and static balances, spinning and turning, jumping and flight and performing quality movement sequences.

PUPIL VACATION

We welcome the students back to school on Monday 12 October 2020 in full summer uniform.
