Staff Baby News
The Easter break has been a time of gifts in many forms. We are excited to announce that Mrs Jamie Gurney has had her beautiful baby girl. Her arrival was a little earlier than planned, but mum and baby are both doing well.
Also Ms Anna (from Year 1 Wallabies in 2023) has also had a beautiful little girl. The family are overjoyed with their new little addition. We extend our blessings and wishes to our staff and their families.
ANZAC Day
Next week we will have our Defence Led Liturgy on WEDNESDAY morning at 8:45am in the hall. Parents and guests are welcomed and invited to attend.
We also invite all to join us at Thuringowa for the annual Anzac Day march. We gather in the Weir carpark at 8.30am and the march commences at 9am followed by a short service, usually led by our parish priest and the local RSL Chapter president. Many schools and Serving units march, along with our veterans in the old cars. Serving and ex-serving parents are invited to march with the students.
Please see the attached letter for more details.
P&F - Meeting and Thanks
A huge thanks to parents who supported the planning and running of our great community events this week. For these events to be the success they are, the behind the scenes work is important. I bring to the spotlight some key parents including by not limited to - Tanya Martin, Kellie Stephenson, Carly Leon-Simmons, Jessica Mead and Renee Neville. Thanks also to the Querro family for their assistance with cooking and serving the BBQ at the disco along with many other volunteers.
We will host our Term 2 P&F Meeting this coming Tuesday 23rd April at 7pm. At this meeting we will be seeking feedback about the new split location format for the disco. Please feel free to send through any feedback prior via email to: rbaumann@stbenedicts.catholic.edu.au if you are unable to attend. There will be a zoom link added to the school Facebook Page Event on Tuesday.
Our next event this term will be for Mother’s Day. We will again be hosting a raffle. If you or a business you know would like to make a donation, these will be greatly received. Proceeds from our raffle are used to help a Benny’s mum in need. If you would like to nominate a Mum who may need a helping hand - please send through via email to: rbaumann@stbenedicts.catholic.edu.au. Nominations are kept confidential.
