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.

Thank you to our Parent Group for the Jersey Day fundraiser last week! Students loved coming to school in their favourite team jersey and having photos taken at the photo booth. We had soccer on the screens at lunch and even the teachers got into the spirit, wearing their own favourite team jersey!

Another amazing term of learning at Good Shepherd! We have had so many wonderful experiences at school this term; from excursions, incursions and sports days, to award assemblies, reward activities and special celebrations. Inside the classroom, students have grown in confidence and as learners. We are wishing everyone a lovely school break and cannot wait to see everyone back on Tuesday 21st of July.

Kindergarten had so much fun on their recent excursion to Calmsley City Farm! 🐄🐖🐑 They were able to go on a tractor ride around the farm, milk a cow, visit the baby animals, and some of our teachers even had a go at cracking a whip! This was a great way to wrap up the learning that took place in Science and Technology this term, following on from our recent Hatch N Grow duckling experience.

An amazing day was had on Friday at our Infants Athletics Carnival! The students participated in running races on our own running track, three-legged races, parachute games, long jump, high jump and more! We are so lucky to have our own ENORMOUS oval at Good Shepherd, complete with its own running track and long jump pit, which make these events possible on our own school site. Thank you to our Year 6 leaders who helped run the different events, and to the families who joined us for the morning. We are looking forward to our Primary Athletics Carnival, happening this Friday!

QUACK QUACK! Kindergarten are loving having the Hatch N Grow program in their classrooms this fortnight! This week, Kindy have watched as their little ducklings have hatched from their eggs and begun to grow. This program is helping our Kindergarten students to learn about life cycles, as a part of their Science and Technology program called Backyard to Bush. We can't wait to see how much they grow next week (and for more chances to hold the ducklings!)
