Principal's Update
As we reach the end of Term 1, I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you for your incredible support throughout the term. This term has certainly presented its share of challenges, not least of which has been the unusual and relentless rainfall that we have experienced. Despite this, your unwavering commitment to your child's education, and our school community has been nothing short of inspiring.
I want to acknowledge the dedication and flexibility of our staff who have worked tirelessly to ensure that teaching and learning continued smoothly, even in the face of adverse weather. Their commitment to your children and to maintaining a safe, nurturing environment is what truly sets our school apart, and we are grateful to have such a passionate and hardworking team.
A special thank you goes to our new school families, particularly those in our new Prep cohort, who have joined us this year. Your involvement and support have made a smooth transition into the St Benedict’s community, and we are excited to have you as part of our school family. We look forward to many more shared experiences in the coming terms.
As we move into the break, I hope you take time to relax and enjoy some quality moments with your families. The staff and I are incredibly grateful for everything you do to make St Benedict's a wonderful place for your children to grow and thrive. We are excited for what Term 2 will bring and look forward to seeing your children continue to flourish in our school environment.
Thank you once again for your incredible support.
As we approach the Easter season, we are reminded of the great sacrifice and love that Christ has shown for us. May this time bring peace, reflection, and joy to you and your family as we celebrate the hope and renewal that Easter brings.
We wish all our parents and carers a safe and restful holiday break. May you find time to recharge and enjoy the company of your loved ones. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in Term 2, ready for another exciting and enriching term ahead.
Our first day of Term 2 is Tuesday 22nd April.
God bless and Happy Easter to all.
God in All of Life
