On Wednesday the 8th of May, Carroll College Year 9 students travelled to St Bernards to commemorate Catholic Schools week by having a Teddy Bear’s Picnic with Kindergarten students from St Bernards and St Marys. The Day began with fruit break and the story of Goldilocks and the three Bears. We then commenced our rotation which consisted of a series of activities. Students decorated teddy bear biscuits, played games with a parachute, completed teddy bear craft, made a teddy bear on the computer and played on the outdoor equipment. We then played games on the oval before enjoying lunch together. It was a great opportunity to spend the day with the other Catholic schools in the area.

We thank St Bernards for hosting such a fun event and St Mary's for joining us. We hope to continue this in the future. Below are some quotes from our Year 9 English class and images from the day.
