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.

Last week I had to shift my support to the NRL because we had the Parramatta Eels come out to school to talk about positive wellbeing and of course promote the game of Rugby League. While Iβm not an Eels fan we certainly had a few fans around and I loved listening to the players and the positive advice they had for our students!!! BTW our kids asked some pretty AMAZING questions - we were so proud of them!!! ππππππππππ

Last week our Year 6 Mission & FIAT Leaders were invited to attend the CSPD Project Compassion Launch!! They were blessed to not only join other students from Parramatta but also to hear from Bishop Vincent and Mr Jack de Groot. We can not wait to see how these young people share their learning with us and lead us during our time of Lent and Project Compassion. πβοΈπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈ
