What a wonderful time Year 5 students had celebrating and reflecting together on the busy year that has passed so quickly.
We reflected on our journey so far this year and how each and every day we are challenged to live our values through our words and actions.
As the students embark on their leadership journey, Year 5 have been challenged to work together to become role models inspiring Jesus' love and service within our school community.
Our motto is ‘Strength through Gentleness’ which guides us in all our endeavours.
At St Bernadette’s Primary school we are committed to Gospel values, incorporating a spirit of community, acknowledging the uniqueness of each individual, encouraging optimal learning and having an ongoing appreciation of the environment.

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. It was great to see respectful, passionate discussions on such an important topic! 🚗⚡

A handful of Year 5 ambassadors visited Alphabet Cottage today, an opportunity to develop intergenerational relationships. Our Cottage friends got to meet some 'big school' kids and our students enjoyed some play and an opportunity to show care, compassion and leadership.

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!
