On behalf of the school board, I would like to thank all teaching staff, parents and children for their resilience shown this term regarding the weather we have experienced. 

The role of our School Board is to provide broad, comprehensive governance of the school. This is achieved by setting long-term, strategic directions for the school, implementing and reviewing key policies, approving the school budget and providing invaluable support to the leadership team and ensuring it is done through the eyes of God.

At our last meeting held on Monday the 31st March 2025, the board discussed the current direction of the school. APRE - Nicolas Christie discussed the importance of the Enhancing Catholic School Identity - ECSI survey and how that information is used to improve the school's Catholic Identity. If you have a chance to complete the survey please do so as the more surveys completed can only help to improve our school.

The board also reviewed two policies: Student Use of School Owned Digital Technologies as well as the Personal Devices. These can be found on the website under the About Tab.

The School Board is currently looking for new members, If you want to be more involved in the school, send an email to the Principal or APRE expressing your interest.

Have a wonderful Easter and may God bless you.

Simon Sorbello

Chairman of the St Benedicts (Townsville) School Board
