We’ve made it to the end of Term 1 - and although the rain, while glorious at times, I feel may have outstayed its welcome.  Hopefully we are in for a drier Term 2!

Over the last few weeks, our students have been presenting assemblies on the Season of Lent.  Today our 3 Kookaburras presented the upcoming season of Easter, where we will celebrate new life and hope that Jesus brings.  They reminded us that we are all able to share the love of Jesus with others through offering kindness, forgiveness and friendship to others.  I wish all of our students a peaceful break, and I look forward to welcoming our students back on April 22, ready for another great term!

Our Parish will be holding a number of services over the Easter period, please see the image below which gives further information on when and where these services will occur.

Enhancing Catholic School Identity Project REPEAT

You may have seen in last week's newsletter information about our school participating in the Catholic School Identity Project. Each school in the Townville Diocese participates in this project every 5 years, with the purpose being to gain meaningful insights into how St Benedict’s views its identity as a Catholic School, and how such identity might be shaped for the future. This is the second opportunity our school has had to participate in the surveys.  I have attached this note again to the newsletter, and would encourage ALL families, regardless of their faith background.  As a shortcut you can access the surveys the following way:
