2020 Book Week Writing Challenge Winners 1
During the first three weeks of this term, students were invited to compose a text to be judged for our Book Week Writing Competition. Students could create any informative text about a real or imagined creature.
All students at St Bernadette’s were given many opportunities in class to plan, draft and compose their texts. They conferenced with their class teachers, received feedback from their peers and teachers and produced their final entries to be judged by myself and our school librarian Mrs O’Brien.
We would like to thank all of the students for their hard work and creativity. Our job was not made easy as it was hard to choose a winner. It was evident that the students we did finally choose, had put in a huge amount of thought and effort into their texts. Congratulations to all the students on their winning entries.

As we continue our focus on Bullying No Way Week this week, itβs beautiful that we can also reflect on the amazing models we have who share our Catholic faith!!! Last week we celebrated St Mary MacKillop. What a perfect example of someone who put the needs of others ahead of her own!!! An example of loving all people, especially children, and finding ways to ensure that each and every child was treated equally and had the same opportunities no matter what their circumstances. This week is a time to really highlight the importance of understanding and kindness. Letβs always endeavour to treat others the way we want to be treated - with love and kindness. π§‘ππ§‘π Donβt forget Orange/purple mufti TOMORROW (13.08.25)

Well hereβs our first monthly HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out for the second half of JULY!!! They had some wonderful celebrations including going out to dinner with family to sushi, pizza and Chinese. Letβs not forget the birthday cakes: custard, sponge, ice cream, chocolate brownie and some themed cakes including a cross between Spider-Man and Minecraft. They were also spoilt with some pretty fabulous gifts like clothes, shoes, bikes and lots of toys. I am so glad you all enjoyed your birthdays and I pray the joy carries you through to next year!!! πππ₯³ππππ°π§π£ππ«
