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.

Accident Story

Biking Gone Horribly Wrong 

February 2019 

Xavier F. 

I’m learning to entertain my audience through a recount.

I was at my wonderful home with my fun dad and my very stupid older Sister. My dad wanted to do something in this hot sunny weather so he decided to take us to a humongous concrete biking track. It was a very long, hot thirty minute drive from my house to the biking track. When we arrived, it was much bigger than I thought.

When we lined up our bikes to start the track. Just as we were going to start someone zoomed past us rudely. When we first started biking, my dad and I went slow because I just learnt to ride on my black bike. However us going slow did not stop my sister from speeding off.

My Dad and I started to catch up and before I knew it I was beside her. We were approaching an almighty ramp, you could go up it or around it. I had just learnt how to bike so I went around it, my sister on the other hand had big different plans

My dad and sister obviously went over the ramp, my Dad landed it, but when my sister went over it 

wasn’t pretty. She went over but didn’t land quite right. Crack ka-ching, I saw my sister lying on the ground crying, screaming and holding her head. When she stood up it was like she was a blood waterfall. My dad rushed us to our friends house because their mother is a doctor. She examined my sister and she said that she has a concussion, that wasn’t allowed tv for a week, As you can imagine my sister wasn’t happy about this. She stayed at home for a few days and now she's ok.

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




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

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 else did to.
