In Religion, Stage 2 students have been working hard to answer our driving question “Why are people starving in a world of plenty?”
To answer this question, Stage 2 was lucky enough to have a guest speaker from the Jesuit Social Services visit the classroom and talk about all the amazing things they are doing to help our local community. With this new learning, students decided to create posters aimed at different audiences to help inform our school community about ways that we can help our local community too.
Students decided what items each Stage would be able to donate and presented their posters to their chosen audiences.
Each Stage group has been asked to donate the following items and bring them into the Stage 2 classroom for collection from the Jesuit Social Services on Friday of Week 8. Thank you for your support! We can’t wait to see our donated items helping those in our local community.
Kindergarten:
- Canned Veggies
- Canned Spaghetti
- Cans of Soup
Stage 1:
- Rice Crackers
- Jelly
- Baby Food
Stage 3:
- Cup of Soups
- Cup Noodles
- 2min noodles/Mi Goreng
- Packet Soup: Cream of chicken, Chicken Noodle, Spring Vegetable etc

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΅

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.
