Acting Principal's Update

I was blessed to visit my first Assembly at St. Benedict’s last Friday, expertly led by the Year 1 Echidnas. They were so well organised and committed to creating a great assembly. A big thanks to their teachers, Mrs Favalli, Mrs Torrens and Miss Candice for helping the students to create the assembly. I can’t wait to be part of the next one.

This year for World Mission Month, Catholic Mission has announced the theme as "Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move" to raise awareness of the life-giving work of lay and religious missionaries around the world.  During October, students are encouraged to engage in both a physical and spiritual journey, to share the message of love and hope not only through their words, but also through their actions. Our students and staff wore crazy socks today to raise funds and awareness for Catholic Mission.

Our Prep students enjoyed an excursion to the Sacred Heart Cathedral this week. Father Joseph and Father Clement showed them the special features of the Cathedral including the Stations of the Cross, baptismal font, tabernacle, altar, paschal candle, the beautiful stained glass windows, statues and sculptures depicting Jesus and other saints and special people. They certainly learned a great deal and had the inspiration to share their leanings in their writing when they returned to school. We are very grateful to Father Joseph and Father Clement for their generosity - the Prep students loved visiting the Cathedral.



Hat’s off to our teachers on World Teachers’ Day next Friday.

Let’s celebrate the amazing work of our teachers at St Benedict’s for educating, inspiring and supporting our students. We recognise them for the work that they do each and every day. Thank you teachers for:

  • the inspiration you bring to your classroom everyday
  • caring for your students and their families
  • caring for your colleagues
  • making a real difference in the future
  • opening students to the pathway to realise their potential
  • being a leader, safe haven, mentor and guide for our young people

We are so blessed to have such wonderful teachers in our Benny’s community.

Blessings.
