In Kindergarten we are answering the question ‘Why does caring for others bring us closer to God?’
So far this term we have been busy learning about all of the gifts God has given us in Creation by exploring Scripture.
This week students in Kindergarten are learning how to identify God’s family and what it looks like. Students were each given a balloon to blow up and release into the air.
Apart from this being extremely fun, it signified how everyone in God’s family is different and goes different ways and does different things, but God’s love for each of us is the same.
The students had a great time with the activity. Thank you Miss Antonelli for a fantastic lesson!

On Tuesday the 11th of November we paused to pay respect and join together in prayer to remember the service and sacrifice of our veterans and people currently serving! It was beautiful to come together in our church to not only remember but pray for all those affected by war, including those experiencing war now. Thanks to all our students and staff who prepared for and participated in our liturgy. Thanks also to those parents, carers and friends who were also able to join us. 💛🌺💛🌺💛🌺💛🌺💛🌺

School TV SPECIAL REPORT: Embracing Change & New Beginnings Change is a natural part of growing up. Whether it's the start of a new school year, moving between year levels, or stepping beyond the school gates for the final time, each transition brings a mix of emotions, presenting both opportunities and challenges. These shifts call on young people to adjust to new routines, navigate unfamiliar environments and develop emotional flexibility. While some may embrace these changes, others may find the disruption unsettling and struggle with the loss of predictability. Research shows that periods of transition are often linked to heightened anxiety, reduced academic engagement and changes in peer relationships. For families, these periods can also bring added stress. Recognising the emotional and psychological impact of change helps us respond more effectively and supportively. While change can feel daunting, it also offers valuable opportunities for young people to learn and grow. By normalising uncertainty and encouraging open conversations, we help young people face new beginnings with curiosity rather than fear. When children are surrounded by guidance, encouragement and consistent structure, they're far better equipped to manage life's transitions with confidence and resilience. Here is the link to your Special Report https://stbernadetteslalorpark.catholic.schooltv.me/wellbeing_news/special-report-embracing-change-new-beginnings-au

They composed and published stories inspired by Dreamtime narratives they have read during their learning time. Year 3 were then so excited and proud to share their stories with Kindergarten. What a wonderful achievement. 💛📖💛📖💛📖💛📖💛📖💛📖

Last week we welcomed back our 2026 Kindy cohort for Transition Session #2!!! They skipped down to the Library to play with their new friends and listen to another great story. Meanwhile Mrs Samojlowicz and Mrs Buenaventura worked really hard to remember as many names as they could!! The playground and biscuit at the end were just a few little highlights. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
