Jesus Strand-Religous Education

During term one we have been earning 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 gifts of faith,hope and love.

St Joseph's

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

The Daredevil

February 2019

By Rosa


I am learning to entertain my audience through a recount.

Me, Rosa as a three year old was the daredevil of the family, always trying to find new ways of getting into trouble. However there was my older brother Titi, the good child that would always get to do things I wasn’t allowed to do. My mum would say always say, “It is because Titi is older!” But this average afternoon was where I took my chance and where the adventure began.


I clutched my fingers around the bars of the gate as if I was in jail, watching my perfect brother going down the hill on his flash bike. He was allowed outside of the prison, while I was trapped inside the gates. I would ride my plastic motorbike on my flat pathway seeing the view of my brother zooming past me down the hill having the best time of his life while I was suffering in a cage and having no fun at all. This happened every time we rode our bikes.


Today was a regular day of bike riding my mum as always was supervising me and my brother as he went down the hill and I went up and down the flat path until… ring, ring the phone rang. There at that moment, my mum opened the gate rushing to get the phone forgetting to close the gate behind her. I knew that this was my moment to shine.

I got my motorbike ready looking side to side then I walked through the gate of the prison and rushed up the hill with my motorbike. Finally I was on top of the hill, “Brum, brum!” getting the engines ready. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 … blast off, at this point I was trying to put my foot on the ground to push but I keep going faster and faster I could see my brother rushing towards me, and mum joining in the panic.


I was having the best time of my life screaming with excitement with that wind blowing on my face … but on the other hand mum was screaming and waving at me. I thought it

was strange so I took my hands of the handle bars and did a huge wave back to mum, “Hi Mum.” Then my bike started shaking going left and right before I went straight into a brick wall. BAM! I smashed my head on the brick wall screaming with pain as blood rushed from my forehead. Mum called the ambulance.


The ambulance took me to the hospital and gave me five stitches in my forehead, I had concussion so I couldn't sleep because if I did my brain would have shut down. I still have that scar today and decided from that point on I would only ride my motorbike inside the prison gates.

Ash Wednesday 2019

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


This year I am focusing on : My lent promise

Shine Week

Shine week. We raise money to help people whose lives are affected domestic violence. In support we all wore orange clothes and brought a gold coin donation to help the charity. Here are some pictures

Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday

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.

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.
