Vision Statement:
Good Shepherd Catholic School is an inclusive community growing together in faith by living our Catholic values
and beliefs. We are guided by the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ, in partnership with parents, caregivers, parish
and the wider community. Our school is dedicated to fostering life-long learning through educational excellence
encapsulating the spiritual, cognitive, emotional, social and physical development of the child.
Principal’s Message
Dear Parents, Staff and Students,
FATHERHOOD
The Gift of Fathers in the Human Mystery of Love and Life
Fatherhood is undergoing a renewal. Whereas once we presumed a lot of things about
fatherhood and perhaps overlooked its need for closer attention today there is a
growing interest in the irreplaceable contribution men offer families in their role as
father. This renewal is something in which we can all take part by reflecting on our
own experience of fatherhood. Our reflections will no doubt be a mixed bag; joyful for
others, painful for some, a mix of positive and negative emotions for most. Healing and
forgiveness, as much as celebration, must be part of our reflections. All of us face
problems in our families, in the church and in society. Healing and forgiveness, as
much as celebration, must be part of our reflections. All of us face problems I our
families, in the church and in society. Wherever there are two or more people, there
can be hurts and divisions. Yet it is also through people that we come to know God and
to be fulfilled personally. St Paul tells us that love is one thing that cannot hurt our
neighbour. Love is the summation of all the commandments. Our closest neighbours
are our members of our families. No matter how far we ‘roam’, home is the house
where our family lives. Father’s Day is a good time to pause to appreciate a unique
person that God has put into our lives – our father. It is easy to take fathers for
granted. The natural hurts that arise in all families can cause us to forget the wealth of
goodness and commitment that is also there. Father’s Day gives us an opportunity to
recall and affirm the particular gifts that fathers bring to families. This includes our
personal fathers, grandfathers, single parent showing appreciation to one’s father. The
important thing is to do it. When expressing thanks to your dad it is a good idea to
connect it with something specific – a special quality or a specific incident in the past
that typifies your father’s care and commitment. People can give presents if they want
to but the most important gift is the gift of appreciation. Every father knows that he is
human and didn’t always do it perfectly. He needs to hear from his children that he
‘must have done something right’ – maybe magnificently.
Love and God Bless

After School Activities
A reminder to parents and students regarding after school activities. If your child is
participating in an after school activity (for example basketball, running club etc) and a
sibling is not, they are to remain in the drop off / pick up area unless they are being
supervised by a guardian. Coaches and teachers cannot take responsibility for the
students other than those they are training.
Take Home Readers
We are running low on take-home reading books for our students. We are
asking all families to please search at home to ensure all reading books are
brought back to school to enable the children to consistently change and
update their books.

Social Worker
National Child Protection Week is from the 6th to the 12th of September. It is one week
of the year when workplaces, family and community are encouraged to promote the
safety and wellbeing of children and young people. Most adults are aware that
physical and sexual abuse harms children. Less attention is given in the media to
emotional and psychological abuse and neglect as other forms of harm. I have worked
with many parents over the years. I remember one father taking great pride in the fact
that he had never lifted a finger to his children. However he used shame, humiliation,
guilt and belittlement in a potent combination with anger to reduce his children’s selfesteem to shreds. The adage ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will
never hurt me’ simply isn’t true. The trauma associated with psychological abuse can
be just as long-lasting as physical abuse. Children can be disciplined more effectively
by coolly helping them to see the effect of their behaviour and imposing consequences.
They learn their lesson but come out of it with their self-esteem intact.
If you would like to discover ways in which you can play your part in providing a
loving and supportive environment for your children please go to

are sure all your hard training will pay off in week 9’s Inter House athletics
carnival. In Science we have been discussing ‘electricity’ and how it all works. Our
focus has been on ‘light bulbs’, what we think we know about them and what we
want to learn. It has been fun conducting experiments during this unit of work.
Congratulations on the year sixes for completing their Hero speech which was
due in class today. Presentations will commence on Monday so please ensure you
