Our Vision

We the Community of St. Bernadette’s Catholic Primary School recognise Christ as our guide and companion.

We are committed to building a supportive learning environment that inspires all individuals to strive continually to achieve their personal best.

We seek to instil a love of learning and we believe that modelling the qualities of kindness, honesty and respect will assist the achievement of this vision.

I would like to thank staff, students and the wonderful families of St Bernadette’s for your wonderful warm welcome. It has been fabulous to have such happy friendly faces greeting me, and each other, at the gate, at the beginning and end of the each day, within the school and at our morning teas.

To give you a little background about me: This is my 38th year in Catholic Education. I have had a number of roles, as Teacher, Teacher Librarian, Religious Education Consultant in Catholic Education WA and numerous leadership and coordinator roles. I have moved from St John’s School Rangeway, Geraldton, after 9 years as Principal. My experiences have given me a wealth of experience and skills upon which to draw in my leadership of St Bernadette’s Catholic Primary School.

I am totally committed to excellence in Catholic Education, where all members of the school community experience the love of Christ, through the interactions and support of the school community. I would like to thank Mrs Yvette Clifton for leading the school and working with leaders, staff and families to provide comfort and support to Nydus’ family and to all members of the school community, during the time of sadness and loss during the holidays. It really was Christ’s love in action. The staff and community support given during the holidays showed me what a great community I am coming into.

We are extremely fortunate that our St Bernadette’s new Catholic Parish Priest, Fr Francis is also committed to the unity of the School and parish. It has been wonderful to have Fr Francis dropping in to be with the Leadership and staff during our first weeks. Father and I are committed to the ‘Parish Based, Family Focused, School Supported’ Sacramental programmes, which will be evident in the Sacramental notes which will be sent home.
