Fun Run

It was wonderful to see the kids give it their all today on what turned out to be a hot day.  The past 2 years we have had to postpone the fun run due to rain - mother nature can be fickle.  Thanks to all the parents, carers and special guests who came to cheer the kids on.

Class Teacher News

As you are aware, Miss Dow is finishing up with St Benedict's today.  We wish her well on her new journey.  We are excited to let you know that we have Mrs Alicia Stokes joining our school and the Year 5 Turtles from next term.  Mrs Stokes has been working in a relief teacher capacity, including with the year 5's and loves all that St Benedict's has to offer your children.  We look forward to welcoming Mrs Stokes next term and look forward to all she has to offer too.

Head Knocks

We have recently reviewed our guidelines for Head Knock incidents. If a student hits their head at school we will be contacting parents/carers to take them home and monitor them. I am sure you can understand the possible severity of head knocks, and that our children are safest at home or seen by a doctor. 

Building/Roadworks

There will be lots of work happening over the school holidays.  There is a planned site meeting next week for both projects.  It is anticipated that there will be changes made to the school carpark either in the second week of the holidays or first week of Term 2.  We ask for your patience and understanding as these changes roll out.  The temporary access road will run from the lights at Greater Ascot and enter into the lower end of our school carpark.  The access way via Bishop Putney Avenue will be closed off within the next few weeks.  I will share more information as it comes to hand.

Easter Prayers

This is a special time of reflection and prayer and represents the pinnacle of the Christian calendar for Catholics.  I wish you a happy and Holy Easter period.  We look forward to see you all back and refreshed in Term 2.

Blessings
