MISSION DAY 2025 | Mission Day is always a highlight on our Brigidine calendar, and this year was no exception! 💚 We began with Mass led by Fr Pan, followed by an inspiring keynote by Kano from @thirdcultureaus , and engaging talks from guest speakers including Alumna Abbey Cook (2020 College Captain), @vinniesyouthqld , @romero_centre , and @secondchanceprogramme . Year 9s took on the Amazing Race, Home Rooms enjoyed picnics at second break, and the day wrapped up with high-energy karaoke. Congratulations to the Year 12 cohort for winning this year! It was a perfect way to end Term 3 and head into the holidays. 📸 More photos of the day to follow. #MissionDay2025 #BrigidineSpirit
