Spotlight on Learning
Bethlehem Community
Dear Families,
As Term 2 comes to a close, we celebrate the many achievements and experiences of our Year 6 students. It has been a busy and rewarding term filled with learning, growth, creativity and community spirit, and we are proud of the effort and enthusiasm shown by all students.
We sincerely thank our families for their ongoing support and partnership throughout the term.
Well Done to the Social Justice Team for their fundraiser!
A highlight was celebrating St Thomas’ Feast Day, where students participated in meaningful activities, reflected on their faith, and came together as a community. We wish all families a safe and restful break and look forward to an exciting Term 3.
