Send your photos through to the school office, so we can share it on social media and with our school. We hatched a plan! We’re eggs-hausted! Our brains are fried! It was a massive scramble! But… we gave it a crack! All students at St Bernadette’s contributed a piece of art to add to our Easter egg. We are so proud of their artworks and how joyous they make our Easter egg. Here at St. Bernadette's, we explored the connection between the past and present of our community and the agricultural history of Castle Hill. Citrus represents our agricultural past as the Hills Shire was known as a major citrus producing region, the same hills our school sits on today. You will even find citrus trees blossoming in our school citrus orchard. Eggs and orange blossoms connect with our poultry past, our thriving school chicken program and our Catholic belief of celebrating new life during the Easter season. The vines of the orchard symbolise the community connection and diverse cultures within. Jesus is the vine, the true source of life for us believers and we are the fruit. Our vines are nurtured by those around us.

    Students in our Mini Vinnies team will be taking part in our Project Compassion K’s for Caritas walk. The mini vinnies team and some teachers will walk laps around our school carrying bags of rice or buckets of water. This Project Compassion Walk is to help raise awareness of global poverty. Many underprivileged people, including young children, walk several kilometres daily to access fresh water, education or work. Many of the things that we take for granted. Please make sure you donate using the following QR code. Have a look at some of the amazing posters our students created in Mini Vinnies.
