Learning & Teaching & APA News

Straight into Learning! 

Wow! What a wonderful start back to the year. I have been through many classrooms and it is very exciting to see so many eager students already. Everyone is getting to know their new class, their teachers, and moving into routines and structures to enable a successful term. I can’t wait for the next step in the learning journey. 

Parent Engagement 

As parents and carers, you play a primary role in supporting your children’s wellbeing and learning, guiding and supporting them successfully through educational processes. At St Benedict’s we recognise and value the partnerships between parents and carers, the community, and the school to promote student learning and high expectations for student success and personal growth. We foster positive parent engagement through a variety of ways, some of them being: 

Class Newsletters: These are emailed by each teacher on a fortnightly basis. These newsletters have important information, please take the time to read them each fortnight. 

Open Classrooms: From week 5, we will roster 2 classes each week to invite their families to the classroom to engage in learning activities. Students will generally share their learning portfolio and other work they have been doing throughout the term. 

DATES TO NOTE 

Open Classrooms for this Term will be: 

Week 5 (Friday February 24th) - 6 Crocodiles and 2 Kingfishers

Week 7 (Friday March 10th) - 4 Dragonflies and Prep Bilbies
