25.01.2022 Appreciation from our Prep parents, of the amazing efforts from their child’s new teacher. Coming into a new school can be challenging enough but to come in during COVID and then to deliver live lessons via Zoom every school day from 9am-3.30pm is simply amazing. Well done Ms Durrant! #zoom #prep #appreciation #covid_19 #teaching #amazing

22.01.2022 What is it about St Bridget's approach to remote learning at home that is different? We asked our valued parents for their thoughts: "St Bridget's staff have adapted well to these uncertain times. Their home learning program has been thoughtfully planned, well structured and concise for my child. His day is as normal a school day as is possible. We have been very impressed by how seamless the transition to home learning has been." Feedback from our families demonstrates the dedication and commitment of our teachers to ensure their children are continuing all learning. Don't miss your chance to experience a tour of St Bridget's. Enrolments are closing soon so book your tour today!

20.01.2022 MLC students have been learning about Narratives and have written their own picture story books. These stories needed to follow the structure of a narrative and contain a message or moral. Here are some of the front covers of their books that they have been illustrating. We are very proud of the effort they have put into them! #kidswriting #kidsillustrating #picturestorybook #narratives

07.01.2022 Is student wellbeing a focus at your school? We know when children are happy they are more likely to exceed in learning. At St Bridget's as we nurture the whole child as a unique individual with their own strengths and potential. One thing that surprises our visitors when they come to visit our school is how beautiful our gardens and grounds are for children to play and learn in. Our wellbeing garden is a place where our children feel safe. The children plant vegetables, te...nd to the chickens and other animals with many more opportunities for learning in our bush surroundings. Why not book a tour and see for yourself, our amazing spaces and facilities where children are able to feel calm, happy and connected with nature at St Bridget's Primary School. Enrolments will soon be closing so don't miss your chance to see the opportunities your child can experience in learning at St Bridget's.

05.01.2022 How are we continuing to seamlessly provide so many learning opportunities for our students? Many of our parents are impressed with how well the home learning programs have been thoughtfully planned, well structured and concise for each child. Parent expectations for what online learning would be like have been completely surpassed. Even as schools remain closed we are still connecting with and providing our students and families with a broad range of quality learning experie...nces through online learning, including our specialist classes. No child will fall behind in their learning as we cater to each individual student's needs. To learn more about just how much your child can experience at St Bridget's, visit our website at https://www.sbgreythorn.catholic.edu.au/ to explore our unique online tours and book a personal tour with our Principal Robyn.

04.01.2022 While the past 6 weeks may have looked a little different in PE, we have still achieved so much. Every week we have had a life zoom session and focused on a fitness and health based unit. In health we have learnt about a range of topics based around the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. We now know the difference between everyday and sometimes foods, have drawn up what we think a healthy lunch box and dinners could look like, we can write our own food diaries and label our bodies!! So proud of these kiddos #healthteacher #peteacher #remotelearning #onlinelearning #healthyfood #eatinghealthy #primaryschool #learningaboutfood
