Up Up and Away. Dr Seuss

This is my hot air balloon that we created to show that our goals are going to take up to new heights.

Growth Mindset - Goal Bunting

Each student in room 6 has made a bunting triangle to show our growth mindset goal and motto that we want to work on. Come and check them out!

Jesus Strand - Religious Education

During term 1 we have been learning about Jesus the Son of God. This is my cube on how Jesus showed us that God loved us all as his children. We are all blessed with the gifts of faith, hope and love.

St Joseph's Day Tabloid Sports

Tuesday 19th March was St Joseph’s Day Feast Day. The whole school attended mass to celebrate the leadership Saint Joseph showed. Saint Joseph is also special to our school because Saint MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph were inspired by Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph is also the foster father of Jesus. The following day, the whole school came together to celebrate with fun tabloid sports in our houses. We all got to play so many fun and exciting games. Thank you to our leaders who prepared this.

My Accident Story

Split a Knee 

February 2019

By Dean

I am learning to entertain my audience through a recount

Have you ever fallen so hard that you feel like you have broken a part of your body? Well I have, and it wasn’t very pleasant. It was morning tea time. I went to Matthew B and I started tickling him, while I was in the middle of tickling him he ran. While he was running for his life, like it was the end of the world, I chased after him. But I couldn’t keep up because he was always turning and dodging me. As he approached Room 9 he went into the classroom, then I tried to go in… CRASH! I tripped up at the entrance, flying forward and landing extremely hard.




While I was on the ground a large group of people started to gather all staring at me like I was a spider or something that would give you nightmares. While I was on the floor crying, a duty teacher walked towards me to check if I was ok. At that moment I heard someone instructing me to get up, while calling out, “Move children, let Dean through!” I was helped to my feet, I wasn’t able to walk even with help so I had to limp.
When I got to the sick bay, they got some cold water and cleaned my knee up it was a really deep cut and quite wide. They had to use butterfly stitches to stick across my cut to hold the wound together. It was so bloody.




Making my way back to the classroom, I started to walk wonky. As soon as I got to the classroom the teacher said, “Welcome back, looks like you going to have to sit on a chair.” The cut took a long time to heal and too this day I have the scar on my knee as a reminder.

Swimming Sports

Swimming sports

Room 6 had a wonderful day at swimming sports. When we all went to the turf we split up into our houses. Thank you Sharyn and parents for helping us with the non competitive swimming and competitive. Also thank you parents for coming along and supporting your children. Good shepherd students thank the teachers very warmly, as every year as they set up and prepare this event for us. I’m sure that every student enjoyed the event. I saw everyone compete with my own eyes and they all did well. The people who lost don’t have to be sad because they should be grateful they got a swim in the warm weather also because there’s always time and effort to improve.

Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday


was Shrove Tuesday. We all had a great day in room 6. The festivities started with the burning of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.


Later on during Religious Education we learnt more about Shrove Tuesday and Lent. People used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. We were even able to enjoy some pancakes of our own. We all thought it was a great start to lent and we are looking forward to the lenten season as we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are the season of Lent and it is a time of preparation.

Ash Wednesday

Today was Ash Wednesday. We went to church and sang some hymns, got the ashes on our foreheads, sung happy birthday to a little girl starting school on her birthday! We then went up and got a blessing.

We did make an attempt to keep our ashes on our foreheads, but that was a fail due to swimming and itching it off. We had a good day and hope everyone season of Lent and it is a time of preparation.
