Dear Families Grandparents & Special Friends Day—Monday 21 May
What a wonderful celebration of multiple generations we shared
together on Monday morning. Our hall was packed to capacity. In
fact I think we used every available chair in the school! We had
grandparents and great grandparents from overseas, interstate,
local and distant parts of Melbourne. Many thanks to all who
generously donated food for morning tea and also to our wonderful
parent helpers who served our visitors. Our students certainly
enjoyed a wonderful day with their grandparents and special
friends. St Vincent de Paul A heartfelt thanks from the St Brigid’s
Chapter of St Vincent de Paul for the generous donations of grocery

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge The Victorian Premiers’
Reading Challenge is open and St Brigid’s is excited to be
participating. PREP’s and 1/2’s The Prep’s and 1/2’s are
participating as a whole class so parents will not need to logon
and add the books but if you would like your child’s name to appear
on the Honour Roll, the form sent home last week needs to be signed
and sent back to school. 3/4’s and 5/6’s The 3/4 and 5/6 children
are required to return the Premiers Reading Challenge form sent
home last week. Once the form is received a booklet with log on
details will be sent home. The Challenge is open to all Victorian
children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of
reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a
personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 7
September 2018. Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read
or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children
from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books. All
children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of
achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and can choose to have
their name included on the online Honour Roll. To read the
Premier’s letter to parents, view the booklists and for more

Grandparent’s Day
They’re Calling On Us
The Environment and Sustainability Team have been working on a
project to help save the gorillas. That pro- ject is called
‘They’re Calling On Us’ ( Zoos Victoria designed the original
project and it is called ‘They’re Calling On You’ but we are taking
ownership of our own part of the project and changing the name).
The pro- ject is about donating old mobile phones so that we can
recycle coltan and save the gorillas’ homes. Coltan is a metal that
is found in your mobile phones. Most of the world's coltan is mined
in central Africa where the gorillas live. We will be having a
casual clothes day on Tuesday 31st July (World Ranger’s Day). for
students who bring old mobile phones, mobile phone batteries, or
mobile phone accessories or they can bring a gold coin for the Thin
Green Line Foundation. This foundation helps train and equip the
rangers who help protect the world’s wildlife. So start collecting
all your old mobile phones, phone batteries and accessories!
