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.

Each game ran for two minutes and the room was full of energy as students tried new strategies, reacted quickly to unexpected moves and learned how their robots behaved under pressure. The teams are already planning adjustments to improve control and movement for next weekβs games. See their excitement and creativity below!

π°π NASA Space Crash Challenge π‘π©βπ Our senior STEM Club students recently tackled the NASA Space Crash Challenge. They were given a Moon landing scenario and had to work together to decide which survival items were truly important. They compared their individual rankings with their team decisions and discovered how listening, questioning and explaining their thinking can change an outcome. Comparing their results with NASAβs expert list led to plenty of surprises!

π§ͺ Five Chairs Challenge π Our Good Shepherd STEM Club has been exploring real design thinking through the Five Chairs Challenge. Each group designed a chair for a Simpsons character, thinking about what their chosen user would actually need. Students sketched ideas, tested different materials and created quick prototypes that encouraged creativity and problem-solving. The goal was not a perfect product but a chance to learn how designers explore, test and refine ideas. The photos show how imaginative their thinking became.
