What a big day swimming carnival day is!  It was great to see so many of our students get into the pool and give in their best go!  A big congratulations to Dthulla House who took home the trophy today!

Vinnies Christmas Appeal

Next week, we are starting our support of the Vinnies Christmas Appeal.  Each pod/year level will have a basket placed outside of their classroom for people to donate any items to support those people within our community who might be doing it tough.  The St Vincent de Paul Society then put together these donations and create hampers for families around what can be a difficult time of the year.  Any support would be greatly appreciated! Please see the flyer below to see items you might be able to donate to this worthy cause.

End of Year Mass

This will be celebrated by Fr Clement on Friday November 25.  We will celebrate the year that was and farewell our departing Year 6 students as a group.  ALL are welcome to attend.

Step up Orientation Day

Our ‘Step Up’ Day will take place on Tuesday November 29 between 9:00am and 10:30am.  ALL students attending St Benedict’s in 2023 will spend the morning with their classroom teacher and peers for 2023.  Our teachers and students are always very excited for this day.  This event is specifically for students.  Parents of new students are invited to attend at the Hall where they can talk to the Leadership Team, OSHC staff and other community members.

O Holy Night

Our Christmas Carols event under the stars is back again this year (weather permitting) on Wednesday November 30.  All classes (as well as the Kindy) perform at the event. ALL are welcome to attend this event.
