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

The Accident Known as the Broken Arm 

February 2019 

Aidan 

I am learning to entertain my audience through a recount. 

The moment that this accident had occurred, I was six years old and I had a very clumsy brain. I tried to keep my clumsy brain hidden as I never wanted to show it, until one day I did show that strange brain of mine. This is how it all started. 

It was a typical Saturday evening, my friend Jack and I were bouncing on his trampoline, with no NET! Yes, that’s right the trampoline was netless. When suddenly his sister came out with a ball. Of course Jack and I wanted to have a turn of the ball. He jumped off the edge, over the bar. I watched and trust me he looked like a boss when he did it. He got the ball, I thought to myself that looked easy and because I had done it before I knew I could do it. I also wanted to look like a boss too, but that didn’t end up being the case.

I raced to the edge bar, jumped … at this point I was thinking I was fine, but I wasn’t fine. I fall down to the death of my arm, without me noticing sadly. Suddenly SMACK! My arm hit the ground and my eyes bursted in tears of sadness. I was lying on the ground as Jack’s mum came out. I got on a chair and sat down suddenly his mum came to rescue me with... an ice pack while she put on a movie to calm me down. 

In the middle of the night I couldn’t sleep, my arm was so uncomfortable! When I got home I told my mum, that my arm felt really weird. I had to waited four whole days till I went to the doctors. I got an x-ray and found out I had broken my arm. I couldn’t get a cast because i had broken my arm near my shoulder so I got a sling. Weirdly when I got to school people started asking me how i sprained arm.There was a lot of storytelling to tell to lots of people but I survived. In the end all i can say is that I didn’t look like a boss.

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. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, almsgiving and helping others. else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, almsgiving and helping others.
This year I am focusing on Helping out around the house more

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

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.
