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.

Congratulations to our all Year 6 students, who over the last month or two have been busily preparing and delivering their Voice of Youth speeches. Students wrote their speeches and then delivered their speeches firstly to their class and then 6 finalists delivered their speeches to all of Stage 3 and staff. It was an honour to witness how much these students had grown and developed from the last time they gave speeches when they were in Year 5 giving speeches to become school captain. After some very serious deliberation between the judges, the following students were selected as our representatives for the next stage - cluster finals of Voice of Youth!! Congratulations to all our finalists and good luck to our school representatives in the cluster final!!! ππ ππ ππ ππ ππ

In Religion this term, Year 2 is exploring Sacraments. During this unit they have been exploring key symbols from our Catholic faith and other faiths as well. Year 2 invited Mrs Chand as a special guest of honour to discuss how the Om symbol is significant to Hinduism and how the sacred symbol is used in celebrations. It was a lovely learning experience for both Mrs Chand and Year 2. The students enjoyed hearing from another teacher at our school whom they can also relate and connect with :) ππππππππππππ

Last Thursday and Friday we had the pleasure of hosting 6 Japanese Primary school students from Sugao Gakuen School in Tokyo. The Year 5 & 6 students were brave enough to accompany their Principal and teacher from Japan all the way to Australia to put their English skills to the test. Both the Japanese students and the St Bernies students were excited to meet each other, learn from each other and play together. What an amazing experience for everyone! Thanks also to some of our families who took the students into their homes to immerse them in Australian living. ππ―π΅ππ―π΅ππ―π΅ππ―π΅ππ―π΅

They had parties at home; went to Flip Out, Winter Fest & Canberra; ate chocolate cake, ice cream cake, strawberry cake & cheesecake. They were excited to get LEGO, ice skating Barbie, books and someone even got a puppy. But most of all they loved celebrating with friends at school.
