The Fathers Day was a great success and all the children had fun purchasing gifts from the Father’s Day Stall which made a grand total of $1055.63.
This was followed by a Father’s Day Breakfast on Friday 31st August which was well received by the students and the special men in their lives.
Special thanks to Margaret Flitcroft for ordering and organising the stall and to all the other parents who helped wrap and man the stalls on the day. Thanks also to the Lewandowski family for their donation of gifts to the stall.
There were many parent helpers for the Fathers Day BBQ showing again what a wonderfully involved and active parent community St Bernadette’s has.
Thank you to Caroline Burbridge and Christian Markham for co-ordinating this event and thanks too to all of the parents and teachers who helped cook and serve food and beverages.
Thank you also to the El-Khoury Hanna family who generously donated the special ingredients that made all the difference - eggs and onions!

This morning, Year 1 met with Father Andrew in the church to learn more about the Sacrament of Baptism. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to deepen their understanding by seeing, smelling and touching the sacred items used during Baptism. Through this hands-on experience, students were able to make meaningful connections between their learning in Religion and the sacramental life of our Church. A beautiful opportunity for our young learners to encounter and celebrate our faith!

This morning, some of our Stage 3 students experienced the spectacular ‘Be the Witness’ musical at Riverside Theatre. The production shared the life of Jesus through the eyes of Peter, bringing the story to life through powerful song, dance and theatre. Our students were immersed in the story of Jesus’ life, death and Resurrection and had the opportunity to reflect on His message and mission in a truly engaging way. We are very grateful to CSPD for providing our students with this wonderful experience of faith, allowing them to encounter the story of Jesus in such a meaningful and memorable way.

This morning Mr White, our Student Animator, led a small group of students in prayer. The prayer focus was ‘The Season of Creation’ and allowed students time to reflect on the gift of creation given by God. Students also reflected on our responsibility to preserve and promote creation 🍃🌸🌱🌷We look forward to Mr White offering students from Year 4-6 in future formation sessions throughout this term and in Term 4.

Today in music, Stage 3 students practised maintaining a steady beat by creatively jumping to the beat of Michael Jackson’s music. They then began composing their own musical pieces, exploring the elements of beat, rhythm, melody and timbre. Musicians in the making 🎶🎵

Going Faceless You might notice something a little different on our school social media page and we wanted you to hear the why straight from us. We have a new approach to social media, taking a proactive stand on protecting our students’ online safety. We’ll keep sharing what our students are learning and achieving, the wins, the projects, the everyday moments that make our school community special. But we will not be posting identifiable photos of children’s faces on our public social media pages. This follows new guidance from the e-Safety Commissioner about how AI tools are being used to misuse photos taken from school social media pages. Our school takes online safety seriously. We’ll continue to share event memories directly with families through our newsletter. We ask that these photos aren’t used on personal social media platforms. Families who have selected ‘not for publish’ will still not appear in these photos. To update your permission, please contact the office. This is a new endeavour and like any new approach, we may not get it perfectly right every time as staff adjust. We appreciate your patience as we find our feet. Thank you for backing us as we take this step. 💙

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
