Thank you to all the Parents, Grandparents and Friends who came along to our 40th birthday celebration on the last week of term!
It was a great day and the students and staff enjoyed celebrating as a school community. Many ex-students came to celebrate our 40-year celebrations sharing fond memories of their schooling at Good Shepard primary.
The school was established in 1979 with just 23 students by the Capuchin Franciscan Friars and administered by the Poor Clare Sisters being lead by the original Principal was Sr Julian Heath.
Since then the fantastic school community has come a long way, growing its vast multicultural roots, now with more than 780 children and 66 staff members!
The school continues to have exceptional educators as well as students continuing to have a positive school community growing together as each student continues their learning journey.

Congratulations to the Good Shepherd students who participated in the Lifted Jnr event earlier this week! A small group of students from Grades 5 and 6 were able to enjoy the experience of live music, testimony, discussion and prayer, inviting students into an encounter with Jesus. Lots of fun was had by all- Reliable sources even tell us that a Good Shepherd teacher was seen dancing on the stage during this event! Thank you to Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese for the opportunity to participate in this event.

We are only two weeks into Term Two and have already been so busy! We started the new term with an Easter Liturgy and an exciting raffle, thanks to our wonderful Parent Group. There have been exciting events happening within grades already, with our Year 5 students enjoying a leadership incursion with Cameron Brown and the Easter Hat Parade in Kindergarten. Kindy were even treated to a visit from the Easter Bunny! We also came together as a community to recognise ANZAC Day, and to celebrate our cross country winners and their success. This week, we are looking forward to celebrating all of the wonderful Mums and Mother Figures in our community, with our Mother's Day Celebrations taking place on Wednesday.
