Beginning Year Liturgy

Shining a Light on Peace - It was so lovely to welcome our community together to celebrate our Opening Liturgy and present our first stand alone Year 6 students with their senior badges.  It was a lovely morning shared with parents, who were beaming with pride for their senior students.  It was a moment of shared joy to have so many of our students singing and joining in prayer for a great year ahead at St Benedict’s.

Before School Supervision

We have noted there has been an increase in the number of students in the hall prior to 8am each day.  Prior to 8am there is no supervision and students should NOT be left in the hall unsupervised by parents. As a school, we provide supervision from 8am with Leadership staff on duty.   We ask that you do not drop students off prior to 8am.  Keeping our students safe is a community responsibility.

Emergency Procedures Drills

We have had our lockdown drill this week and will have a fire drill in coming weeks.  These drill’s help us ensure we are meeting the safety needs for our students, staff and parents.  These drills have gone well, with a review of practices undertaken to respond to our needs as we grow over time.
