Dear Families Lest We Forget Year 4 Eucharist Our Year 4 students are in the final preparations for receiving the Eucharist for the first time on Sunday April 29 at 12.30pm. First Eucharist is a very special occasion-a further step in becoming one with Christ and united with the people of God, a faith community. They will experience God s love and friendship by receiving the bread of life (Jesus body and blood). Please keep the children, their parents and teachers in your prayers as they prepare for Sunday s celebration. Anzac Day 2018 In commemoration of the Anzacs landing at Gallipoli the Year 5 and 6 students were invited to attend the Anzac Day March organised by the Mentone RSL. We had a great turn out of Students and their families from the St Brigid s Community. It was with pride that I walked alongside these students whose respect, reverence and gratitude was apparent as they marched, listened and participated in the Anzac Day Ceremony.

In Grade 1/2 MF the children read the story 'Giraffes can't dance', they talked about how it felt to not be ble to join in, to be teased, to not be able to do something well. The children then made their own giraffe. Well done, these look great. BOOK CLUB ORDERS MUST BE IN BY FRIDAY 27 APRIL
