We recently held another great Combined Family Mass with St Brigid’s and St Brendan’s coming together to celebrate.
The senior leaders from both schools were fantastic in their support and the running of Youth Ministry. There were games and snacks followed by Mass.
We would like to thank all the families who attended to celebrate with us. Your support is truly appreciated.
Book Week has been a success this year with various activities held during the week.
Our intermediate girls Rugby Union and AFL teams have had the opportunity during their Inflame time to learn the rules, skills and put in to play what they have learned for the upcoming Broken Bay gala days.
This will be St Brigid’s first time entering a girls team in both sports. As a team the girls are really looking forward to these events. Thank you to Mr Philpot and Mr Haslem for coaching the girls and making the training fun and knowledgeable. It’s a real enjoyment watching the girls get in and have a good go at these training sessions, the time they have during Inflamed is proving to be a great use of time and more one on one training.
Thank you to Mrs Carantinos for supporting the training sessions during Inflamed time and making this possible for our students.
The girls are all looking forward to next week’s training. Good luck at the upcoming gala days girls!
Our Year 8 students have just participated in a trek and adventure reminiscent of the Amazing Race, contained entirely within the beautiful natural habitats of our local area. Students were grouped into their houses and required to plan their route through a number of checkpoints before arriving at the campsite at Freeman’s Camp ground, where they set up for the night, engaged in camp games and served dinner to their fellow students.
On the second day, students departed the campsite in the morning and trekked their way through the national park to Catherine Hill Bay, where they made lunch, played beach games and departed for a well-earned rest, before trekking the final leg up to Catherine Hill Bay Cemetery to be picked up by parents and guardians.
Fostering a nurturing environment of respectful relationships within your family holds the key to not only harmonious living, but also improved academic outcomes for your children. As parents and caregivers, embracing the art of teaching children about respect at a young age sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy interactions and empathetic understanding. It will help cultivate a positive environment where communication flourishes, conflicts are resolved constructively, and bonds are fortified.
Teaching children to respect themselves and others will open up avenues for both personal growth and academic achievement. Fostering an environment where respect is not just a word, but a practiced behaviour, will empower young people with essential life skills. Effective communication, active listening, and the art of compromise, will provide your child with a solid foundation that will transcend family interactions and help them collaborate effectively with peers, teachers and the broader community.
Equipping children with an understanding of healthy versus unhealthy relationships is an important aspect of their development. It will guide them to make informed choices, foster positive connections, and set boundaries that contribute to their emotional wellbeing. Understanding the nuances between healthy and unhealthy relationships provides children with the essential tools to navigate their social world, build self-esteem, and cultivate meaningful relationships.
In this edition of SchoolTV, learn how to empower young people in healthy interactions to embrace differences and forge connections that honour their self-worth. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this month’s edition, and we always welcome your feedback.
If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact the school for further information or seek medical or professional help.

Last week, students from St Brigid’s participated as the representative school in the Innovations and Opportunities in Australia’s Dairy Industry Careers Panel.
Students had the opportunity to hear from three representatives working in the dairy industry, exploring the National Science Week theme: Innovation: Powering Future Industries. They were also introduced to opportunities and pathways to careers in the industry.
Throughout the session, panellists shared their stories about the innovations in technology and management practices employed along the dairy supply chain. They provided practical advice for people interested in pursuing a role in the sector.
We would like to introduce the newest members of our Agriculture plot.
Our two new heifer calves have settled in well.
Thank you to our Year 12 student, James Vipan, for facilitating the purchase and to Mr Adamson for transporting the calves.
They have been named Gracie and Immi after our two alumni students, Grace Hubbard and Imogen Ross, who originally proposed the further development of Agriculture within the school.
Students from stage 4 Drama Inflame have been rehearsing the play ‘The Girl who cried Wolf’ by Angela Betzien. They have been learning about the roles of Stage Manager, performer and considering production elements to engage the audience.
They will perform the play for our school community in November.
Our Inflame Dance groups represented the College in the Your Next Step Dance Competition in Gosford last week.
The Senior team came 2nd and the Junior team came 3rd overall.
The dancers have worked so hard during their Inflame session under the watchful eye of Kira from The CMPY in San Remo.
Thank you, Kira, for working with our students this term.
