Welcome to the New School Year!

As a family, you are about to embark on an exciting journey into a new year level. The purpose of this email is to introduce the new Inclusive Practices Teacher (IPT) team at St Benedict’s. Mrs Charley Favalli (Prep and Year 1), Ms Tegan Barter (Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4) and Mrs Rhylie Mathiesen (Year 5 and Year 6). 

Inclusive Practice Teachers work cooperatively and in collaboration with school leadership personnel, teachers, other student support services team members and parents/carers to ensure that all students, including students with a disability, in primary and secondary schools across the Diocese are supported to engage purposefully in learning. Inclusive Practice Teachers will work to develop the capability within schools to cater for the diversity of these learners within the school population.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Open communication underpins learning here at St Benedict’s, and we extend an open and ongoing invitation for you to contact us at any time.

We look forward to supporting your child alongside our colleagues and warmly welcome your family to what is going to be a great year at St Benny’s.
