We’ve reached the half-way point of what has certainly been a busy term at St Benedict’s!

Today’s assembly was led by the Year 3 Galahs on the theme of ‘The Transfiguration of Christ’.  They spoke about how Jesus went to the top of the mountain, a place associated with the presence of God.  They spoke about how, like Jesus, we can find God in many places if we can sit quietly and listen and open our hearts and minds.  I reflected this point with our students on our schools motto, ‘God in all of Life’, and how we can see God in everything - each other, the environment and the world around us.  

Last week the 6 Taipans presented on the Feast of St Mary MacKillop - our first and only Australian saint.  Mary MacKillop showed great trust and confidence in the goodness of God, and her motto, “Never see a need without doing something about it”, is something that has inspired the creation of many catholic schools around Australia and New Zealand.
