Principal's Message

Welcome to St. Bernard's Primary School in Batehaven, Batemans Bay.

St Bernard's is a Catholic Primary School catering for boys and girls from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school is set among spacious and well grassed grounds just one block away from the beautiful Caseys Beach. Our school motto "That All May Be One" invites all members of our school and parish community to work together to create an experience of unity. Children learn from what they experience and their learning challenges them to live "each for all and all for each" so that truly, all may be one!

We at St. Bernard's see the school as a loving caring faith community. The Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn challenges its schools and teachers to share with parents a sacred responsibility for the educational, spiritual and emotional development of the young people in its care.

By accepting your enrolment at St. Bernard's you are making a definite commitment to be involved and to participate in the life of the School and Parish. Regular communication between school and home and shared decision-making in your child's education is valued and encouraged at St. Bernard's. As you involve yourself in St. Bernard's you will have the opportunity to meet new friends and be supported in your very privileged position as parents.

Our Catholic school is Gospel based and firmly committed to Christ and to proclaiming his message.

The staff at St. Bernard's are highly dedicated and professional educators who demonstrate personal integrity through the Christian climate they create, as individuals and as a community. In their vocation as Catholic Educators, they have the interest of your child at heart, and will endeavour to ensure the maximum is done in the development of each child.

We look forward with enthusiasm to your association with St. Bernard's and know that you will be delighted by the unique environment on which St. Bernard's prides itself.

Let us go together confidently in educating our young Australians of today and tomorrow
