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.

We were blessed with a lovely day for our Infants Sport Festival. Kindy, year 1 and year 2 enjoyed the 9 different running, throwing and novelty events. It was great to see such enthusiasm and excitement of the students to participate in all of the activities. A big thanks and congratulations to our House Captains and yr 6 leaders who helped organise and run each of the events. I think that many parents enjoyed the day as much as the students did. What a great way to celebrate World Kindness Day!11 Nov 2026

It was such a pleasure to welcome our Grandparents to school on Tuesday... Our regular celebrations were postponed from July due to Library works- the beautiful weather on Tuesday made it worth the wait! Students enjoyed showing their learning to Grandparents and Grandparents enjoyed a special Liturgy and morning tea. Special thanks to our P&F for hosting a delicious morning tea.
