APRE News

Welcome to the end of Week 7 (or the start of Week 8).

Our most recent assembly saw the Year 5 Jellyfish present to the school of the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, which traditionally has carried with it great value to Catholics.  The Jellyfish reflected on how Mary’s life was filled with faith, lote, and to devotion to God, and that her Assumption reminds us of the special place she holds in our hearts and in heaven.

St Benedict’s NAIDOC Celebrations

Week 8 will see St Benedict’s undergo our NAIDOC Celebrations.  NAIDOC Week itself has already passed, but as a school, we will be celebrating NAIDOC Week in Week 8, with this year's theme being, “Keep the Fire Burning!”  At school this week, each Year Level will be taking part in a workshop for our local, ‘Big Eye Theatre’, which, led by Aunty Ros, has been set up to support and promote First Nation Artists.  They will be engaging students in storytelling and dance.  Mrs Christie, our First Nations Teacher, will also be engaging our students in an art workshop throughout the week. Keep an eye out around the school for where this might end up! 

2024 Eisteddfod

Each class at St Benedict’s this year will be participating in the 2024 Townsville Eisteddfod.  Classes have been learning and will present a poem at the Townsville Eisteddfod on the Civic Theatre Stage.  This will be taking place in the last week of Term 3.  The schedule for when classes are performing has been included below, with a separate Compass Event being sent out to parents this week.    

All Performances at the Townsville Civic Theatre

Please note that there is an entry fee to attend any Eisteddfod Session
