St Bernadette's Primary School
NEWSLETTER |WEEK 0 TERM 4 2026
On a personal note, my family and I were fortunate enough to spend the holidays in Exmouth. We were blessed with beautiful weather, great company and some unforgettable fishing and snorkelling experiences. I even took my boat up for the first time and, thanks to one of our wonderful school dads sharing a few secret fishing spots, we managed to catch some fantastic fish. The highlight was a 128cm cobia, easily the biggest fish ever caught on my little boat! It was a wonderful break, and I’m returning feeling refreshed, recharged and ready for a busy run towards Christmas.
Just a final reminder that students return to school on Tuesday, not Monday.
We look forward to seeing everyone then and sharing another fantastic term together.
God bless,
Geordie

A quick reminder to all Year 6 families, and other students who are leaving us to please ensure that you download all your child's school reports and Naplan results before the end of Term 4. Once the students leave Bernie's the accounts are moved to an archived status and reports are no longer accessible. There will then be a charge to retrieve these documents after archiving occurs. Thank you for your understanding.

In the Catholic tradition, our parish and school are closely connected.
The parish, led by Father Giovanni, provides spiritual leadership and is responsible for ensuring we nurture students’ faith alongside academic learning. The school supports the parish by helping children grow in Catholic values, preparing them for sacraments, and encouraging family participation in parish life.
It’s essentially a partnership — the parish is the faith community, and the school is one of its key ministries. For more information about our Parish, please click here:
