At St Bernadette's, we entertained visitors during our open day for Kindergarten Enrolments
Catholic Schools Week was celebrated in the Diocese of Parramatta with schools opening up their doors and demonstrating to their local communities how they teach in their amazing learning spaces and embrace a sense of community.
Throughout the week schools hosted a variety of activities including open days and evenings, open classrooms, in-school liturgies and fundraising events to highlight the great things, which take place in Catholic schools every day.
At St Bernadette’s, Catholic Schools Week began with a liturgy in the church which was a great opportunity for people to meet their newly appointed Priest Father Shinto, this was followed by an open day for new Kindergarten Enrolments on Tuesday and Friday capped off the week with open classrooms and visitors invited to engage in a Transforming Learning activity.
Enrolments are now open. Simply contact your local Catholic school for further information.

A huge congratulations to both our Affirmative and Negative debating teams for their wins today! 🎉 The topic was “Petrol cars should be replaced by electric cars”. It was a tough one, with both sides delivering strong, well-researched arguments. Well done to all our students and to Christ the King for such engaging and high-quality debate.

On Tuesday, Year 2 spent the day exploring the amazing animals and their habitats and they weren’t "lion" when they said it was the best day ever! 🦁 They also learned fascinating facts about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, including how they lived and the clever tools they used to thrive on the land. 🌿 What a "roarsome" day of learning and adventure!
