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.

Yesterday our Stage 2 and Stage 3 boys and girls represented our school at the Netball Gala Day! They played with skill, teamwork and determination but most importantly had so much fun. We are so proud of their fantastic sportsmanship both on and off the court.![554557253339240_1415762413885382-1]()

Our STEM Enrichment groups have been busy working on the physics applied to creating a rollercoaster. Our senior group got theirs going first and have been mentoring our junior groups. What a great way for them to build their communication skills in preparation for STEM MAD in Adelaide? What's the science? Creating a rollercoaster model involves applying fundamental physics concepts, primarily the law of conservation of energy and the interconversion of gravitational potential energy (at height) and kinetic energy (due to speed). SO exciting when it works!!!!!!

Our debating team recently took on St Angela’s Castle Hill with the topic “AI hinders learning in the classroom.” This contemporary topic sparked an engaging debate, with both sides presenting strong arguments for and against the use of AI in education. Although we didn’t come away with the win today, our team should feel very proud of their efforts. They showed impressive skills in presenting their points and confidently refuting opposing arguments. This was the final round of the Hills Cluster Debating Competition—congratulations to all students who participated across the rounds this year!
