On Monday of Week 5 Kindergarten were introduced to their year 6 buddies!
The kindy students were so excited to meet their big role models, waiting patiently outside of the classroom ready to be paired up.
Year 6 were equally as excited, and had personalised letters ready for their new little friends.
Throughout the year, the Year 6 buddies will help Kindergarten with settling into school life as well as their learning. They have already been the audience for some amazing Kindergarten writing!
Thank you to the Stage 3 and Kindergarten staff for organising and running the Buddies program at St Bernadette’s.

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. ππΊππΊππΊππΊππΊ

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.

Last week our Year 3 students completed the entire writing process, moving from planning, drafting, editing, re-drafting, editing, all the way through to publishing!! 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. ππππππππππππ

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. ππππππππππ
