charitable works and actions. As we continue on our Lenten journey, it is an important time to revisit how we live as people within a Christian community and what does that call us to do: reconcile with those who we are in conflict, generosity with our time, talents and resources, care for the earth and so on. I invite you to bring the Christian meaning into conversation with your children as we build towards Easter and the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Athletics CarnivalCongratulations to all students, who participated so enthusiastically in our athletics carnival and to the many parents who supported their children. The level of commitment by those present was indeed wonderful with many students giving of their all in a multitude of events. Thank you to Tamika Burdett and Gareth Hose who were the organisers and to the students and staff who supported Tamika and Gareth. It is on a day such as this that the true pride and spirit of our students are clearly demonstrated. To those students who were absent for a multitude of reasons, some valid, some not, you have missed a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the spirit of our College. Congratulations to Melleray on winning the athletics carnival. There are a large number of photographs of our carnival on our Facebook page.

Jess will represent School Sports Victoria at the School Sport Australia Pizzey Cup Championships which will be held in Adelaide from the 4th May to the 11th May. Well done, Jess.

Caritas WalkathonProject Compassion is the appeal of Caritas which is the Catholic Church’s International aide agency which supports international disasters and global poverty. The appeal is conducted each Lenten season and St Brigid’s has traditionally been a significant supporter of this project.As part of our last day of the term organisation next week, all staff and students will participate in our Holy Week liturgy, celebrated by Fr. Peter Hudson, in the stadium commencing after recess.After our liturgy, we will participate in the “K’s for Caritas” walkathon to Weir Park and return in time for homeroom and dismissal at 2.30pm. The day will be a coloured clothes day with a gold coin donation to Caritas. This is a whole school event and as such, imperative that all students participate. We hope that next Friday we will raise significant money for Caritas.

Students will return for Term 2 on Tuesday, 23rd April.

CongratulationsCongratulations to staff member, Claire McGennisken and partner Travis, on the recent addition to the family, a beautiful young lady, Layla.
