Principal's Update
Welcome back to Term 4. The last Term of the year is always a productive and exciting one for our students and the school community. For our Year 6 students this will be a time of reflection on their primary school journey as well as the school welcoming our new 2025 prep children and their parents and carers.
One change this school year is that we are having ten weeks in Term 4, rather than the normal nine weeks.
The last day of Term 4 is Friday 6th December.
Laura King appointment at Mary Help of Christians
I wish to congratulate Laura on her recent appointment as Inclusive Practice Leader at Mary Help of Christians College, commencing in 2025. Laura has been outstanding in her role as Inclusive Practice Teacher at St Benedict’s. There will be an opportunity to thank Laura for her service throughout this term. The vacant Inclusive Education Teacher will be advertised and an appointment will be made in the coming weeks.
Change of morning school routine
From Monday 14th October, there will be a change to the morning school routine. This change is a result of feedback we have received from staff, parents and students. It is also in preparation for the opening of Mary Help of Christians in 2025. The smooth transition at the start of each school day is an important part of our school goal of creating an ordinarily learning environment so that the preconditions for learning are optimised for all our students.
Ros Baumann, in her APA section of the newsletter, has included the information about the morning routine change. Parents are welcome to speak with members of the School Leadership Team, who are on duty each morning and afternoon, if they have any questions.
