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.

On Wednesday 55 students from both Stage 2 and 3 attended the Basketball Gala Day held at Hills Hornets. All teams showed determination, positivity and fantastic sportsmanship. It was a fun and competitive day. All teams who represented St Bernadette’s followed our school crest ‘Strength through Gentleness.’ Every single student who attended the day should be extremely proud of themselves. Thank you to all parents who took time out of their day to coach/manage and do the bench for their child’s team. We couldn’t have done it without you. A big congratulations to the Junior Boys White team who WON their grand final 15-9, playing against Redfield College! You boys played fantastic and have made yourselves and St Bernadette’s very proud! 🏀🎉 Miss Charlotte Davies Miss Annabel Graves

AMAZING 😍 So blessed to host the TODAY Show Weather for Mother's Day! Tim and the crew were amazing to work with and our students were incredible, arriving from as early as 5:20am! Big shout out to our staff for their work behind the scenes, smooth transitions, student support and such an early start. It was a magnificent morning and a big thank you to our P&F stepping up again to provide bacon & egg rolls for a small donation. We raised over $900 to support women and families seeking support from Vinnies. Truly blessed in our Bernie's community 💙 and proud to showcase this to all of Australia. Post your photos from the day in the comments🤩
