Mission Fete
The Mission Fete is coming up on Friday 6 November! This much-loved tradition at St Bernard’s is always a highlight of the year and a wonderful opportunity for our school to come together.
The Mission Fete also connects with our students’ learning in Religious Education, where they are exploring how we can help and care for others. This provides a meaningful opportunity for students to learn about the organisations we are supporting and understand how their contributions can make a difference. It is a wonderful way to bring our school motto, Love Serves, to life!
Staff Professional Development Day
Last Friday, while you were all enjoying an extra-long weekend, the staff of St Bernard’s headed to East Melbourne to explore the Catholic Precinct as part of our faith formation.
Our day began with a visit to the Mary MacKillop Spirituality Centre, where we reflected on Mary MacKillop’s impact on the early Australian Church and her enduring legacy of faith and service. We then visited the Dr Sr Mary Glowrey Museum and learnt about the extraordinary life of Mary Glowrey, an Australian doctor, missionary and religious sister whose remarkable work continues to inspire others.
The day also included Mass and a tour of St Patrick’s Cathedral, as well as an opportunity to explore the religious art at Australian Catholic University (ACU).
It was a wonderful opportunity for our staff to deepen their faith, learn more about the rich history of the Catholic Church in Melbourne and reflect on how we can continue to live out our school motto, Love Serves.
