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.

Sydney Swifts Netball Clinic Over the past few weeks Year 6 were invited to participate in a four day curriculum mapped program run by the Sydney Swifts. They engaged in activities both in the classroom and on the netball court which supported students’ learning in wellbeing, relationships and movement. Today was our last session which involved meeting one of the players from the Swifts, Tayla Fraser. She even took the time at the end to sign some autographs for our huge Swifty fans!

That’s a wrap! 🇦🇺 Last night was full of laughter with a late-night visit to Questacon and an impromptu talent show. Today we explored Embassy Drive, visited the National Zoo & Aquarium, and wrapped up our adventure at the AIS. Canberra, you’ve been a delight! Thank you for turning on the sunshine and giving us so many unforgettable memories. Our hearts are full, our bodies are weary, and we’re now Sydney bound! 🚌☀️
