APRE News

Welcome to the end of Week 8!  It’s crazy to think there are now only 2 weeks of this term remaining.  We have continued to feel the effects of absences of students and staff due to Covid-19.  Our students are to be commended for their behaviour and continued flexibility and resilience as normal routines have required adjustments for many classes.    

It was great to host potential new members of our St Benedict’s community at our Prep Open Day this morning.  Our senior students in Year 5/6 were very eager and enthusiastic tour guides, showing families around our school.  A reminder, if you have a child who is starting in Prep next year (in 2023) or have a friend wishing for their students to attend, enrollments are due now, with interviews beginning in May.  

A note from the Parish

The parish are seeking expressions of interest from students (girls and boys) who have completed the sacramental program (either this year or previously) who might be interested in becoming an Altar Server during weekend masses within our parish.  If this is something you and your child would be interested in, please let me know (via email) and I can pass this information onto the Parish who can then organise the next steps.  

Project Compassion

 

Each week, Project Compassion has a video to show how they are supporting people and communities around the world.  Please see the link below to see one of the many projects around the world and to see where your donations might be spent.  This week's story takes us to Arnhem Land, Australia and is about a woman named Janice.  If any of these stories inspire you to give any monetary funds to Caritas, we have collection boxes within classrooms and in the school office.
