Saint 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

A not so very Merry Christmas
February 2019
By Remy
I am learning to entertain my audience through a recount



Mmm, that is the sound that echoed through our bach as my whole family was eating christmas cake. We were just eating the cake like normal people would do, until my daredevil brother decided to run of. Splat… was the next sound that interrupted all of us eating our cake. My brother had somehow run into the corner of a wall, slicing his head open to the BONE!.




All you could hear was the sound of his scream, I was sure he wouldn't have any air left in his lungs as the screams sent shivers down my spine. The blood was pouring out of his head, this was not a pretty sight. Then all of a sudden there was deathly silence, soon to be filled with the sound of sirens. The bright big red and blue lights flashing against the walls through the windows, before disappearing off into the distance.




My brother had been taken to a place no one wants to go to … the HOSPITAL. When my brother had ran into the wall he had split his head open three layers, first was the skin, then the tissue and the last bit was right to the bone. He was very lucky he didn't damage the bone. To put this mess back together my brother had to get sixteen stitches, which also meant he also got sixteen lollipops.




Francesco came back to the bach after midnight, everyone had been waiting for the poor little thing to come home. When he arrived he looked a bit different, he had a new accessory covering his forehead. The next day he was back to his normal self but he was still a bit cautious, especially when running. I think he might of learnt a lesson and he still has a great big scar on his head to this day to remind him.

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

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 Wednsday

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 else did to.

Shine Week

A sea of orange flood Good Shepherd School on Friday the 8th of March. This week was 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:
