PAX - PEACE - Progress, Achievement & Excellence in Learning

Did you know the Benedictine motto is quite simply the word ‘PAX’ - which in latin means peace? Along with our PEACE acronym of Persistence, Empathy, Accountability, Care for Community, and Engagement, we also use PAX as an acronym in relation to Progress, Achievement and Excellence in learning.

At St Benedict’s we celebrate every child for their unique abilities, strengths and talents. Each and every day teachers focus on their learners, and select the best teaching strategies, to help them PROGRESS in their learning, ACHIEVE their goals, and show EXCELLENCE. 

Brett from year 3 came to the office this week to proudly show the leadership team how he had progressed in his learning of contractions in only 2 weeks. We are so proud of Brett and all the teachers and students at St Benedict’s for the tremendous efforts put into teaching and learning every day. 

Yours in Learning, 

Aleesha Rockemer

Learning and Teaching Adviser
