Dear Parents and Carers,

Well can you really believe that we have come to the end of another term - our year seems to be moving so quickly!

My heartfelt thanks are extended to all those families who came along for the students’ Storyline learning journey yesterday. The children were excited to be able to share their amazing learning with so many special visitors. I’m sure you’d agree that each Storyline gave students the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills in such a creative and significant way.

Mission Week- Socktober

Next term we will be participating in Socktober during Mission Month to make a difference for children in need in Timor-Leste. Students will be learning about a community in Venilale this year and kicking goals to support children’s health and wellbeing needs. Thanks for supporting our St Bernard’s team as we look to make a difference!
