Seventeen of St Brigid’s girls participated at the South Coast Netball Gala Day on Tuesday 15 June 2021. We had 1 junior girls’ team and 1 senior girls team attend. The girls from both teams had a wonderful day!

The gala day is focused on participation, having a go and enjoying a day of fun as a team and our students did exactly that! The girls showed great team spirit and were respectful to the other teams and umpires.

A big thank you to the parents that came and helped out on the day offering support and advice. Your assistance was greatly appreciated in cheering on the girls and keeping the day and the teams running smoothly.

Overall, it was a great day. Everyone should be very proud of how they represented their team and our school!

ATHLETICS CARNIVAL 

We were blessed with a cracking Winter's day last Wednesday for our carnival. We welcomed Kinder and Year 1 to their first ever athletics carnival at Beaton Park. 

The track and field events that the students participated in are taught as part of the curriculum and we have been analysing videos and learning how to undertake the events in the best possible way for the majority of this term. (We have to modify our learning for high jump and long jump to account for equipment and facilities). The students took on the training with gusto and we could see that learning in action on Wednesday.

The students should be very proud of their efforts and all participants played their part to support their house team and each other. Well done St Brigid's!! And now for the MANY thank yous!

Thank you to our wonderful Year 6 leaders for leading your houses in the organisation of the day and the war cries. 

Thank you to our special parent community for your support on the day - we need help to run these carnivals so a big cheer from us for supporting the school and being flexible with your roles. Thank you also to the spectators cheering on our students too!

Thank you to our teachers who, whilst being gifted with a plethora of knowledge and skills, may not be at Olympic level familiarity of the event they were managing, mastered it well and did their very best to give all students fair and substantive opportunities in the time given. Bravo St Brigid's Staff.

A special thank you to Mrs Regan and Mrs Mitrevski who worked very hard behind the scenes to make this day a great experience for everyone.

Finally...congratulations to MacKillop house for winning the carnival and to our St Brigid's 2021 Age Champions.
