Beyond the Classroom

Extracurricular opportunities for students to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or pursue a passion.

We help every student shine!

At St Bernadette's, we believe it is important for students to pursue interests to find what they are passionate about. We give them exposure to a range of exciting opportunities to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or follow a passion.

We help every student shine!

Social Justice

Our students are offered a wide variety of local community activities to help develop a sense of pride, respect and responsibility for themselves and others. This positive participation and actions can be seen in how we interact and learn with one another, work collaboratively and take ownership of our behaviour as well as active involvement in faith-based experiences.

The St Bernadette's community participates in a number of outreach and social justice initiatives with organisations including:

  • Project Compassion
  • The Manning Foundation
  • Children’s Hospital at Westmead
  • Tebbut Lodge Aged Care
  • Flanno for a Farmer

Developing global citizens

Our students benefit from our partnerships with schools in Hong Kong and Japan. Students exchange language, cultural experiences, and build international friendships with visitors from Kaichi Tokorozawa Primary School in Japan and Yuen Long Merchants Association Primary School in Hong Kong.

Excursions, Camps and Retreats

Every student loves to get out of the classroom and explore.

Our students benefit greatly from school trips where they are able to observe new things not available at school such as rare and exotic wildlife and plants, different cultures and the stories of our history. These experiences lead to deeper understanding of learning subjects.

Camps and retreats are also wonderful opportunities for students to develop independence, grow in faith, form strong friendships and make life-long memories!

The following are some other extra-curricular activities that may be offered at St Bernadette's.
