It was lovely to welcome all of our new Kindergarten families. The children had an exciting time in their classrooms and getting a real taste of “big school”.
The transition from preschool to primary school is a major step for young families and it is always exciting for us to see the next group of children arriving at school, ready to embark on the next phase of their little lives.
It can be scary getting used to all the new routines and the fact that they have to share the teachers time with so many other children.
It can also be an anxious time for many parents as they see their child come under the influence of another significant adult perhaps for the first time in their short lives.
It is important to remember that this is all part of growing up and at St Bernadette’s we make this challenging time as easy as possible.

On Monday, our Year 5 students were delighted to host residents from BUPA Aged Care Dural. It was a wonderful morning made even more special with a visit from Fr Menard. Students and residents enjoyed chatting about the old days while sharing a cuppa and morning tea together. We finished off a great morning with a lively game of bingo and some yummy prizes. We look forward to many more visits with our friends from BUPA Dural.

Today in 2W we had a very exciting Soft Toy Day! 🧸 This special reward was earned because 2W received the Giant Gem two weeks in a row, what an amazing effort! The classroom was full of smiles as students brought in their favourite toys to share. Their toys were the perfect learning buddies for the day and helped make our classroom extra fun. Well done 2W for your fantastic teamwork and behaviour, it was great to see how proudly everyone shared their special toys with their classmates!
