We have reached the end of another busy week here at St Benny’s.  Year 3 Kookaburras lead us beautifully in assembly with a prayerful celebration about the resurrection of Jesus.  They also presented a wonderful class showcase, sharing information they have learnt about ‘Cyber Safety’ with the whole school.  I know I look forward to the class showcases every week, it is a great way to see what some of our students have been up to!

ASSEMBLIES

There will be no assembly next week as it is a public holiday, but we look forward to our first Prep assembly, with Prep Koalas presenting on Monday Week 4 at 8:45am.  Please see the table below for a list of which class is on Assembly each week for the rest of the term.

Sacramental Program

On Sunday, our final group of students took part in their First Holy Communion.  The Sacramental Program for this year is now complete and we would like to congratulate all of our students who participated in the Program this year.  If you are interested in your children participating in the Sacramental Program, information for 2020 will come out at the end of this year. It is open for primary aged students from Year 3 and above, and their presence would be greatly welcomed!

Staff on Retreat

This week we had three staff members, Miss Annette, Mrs Ore and Mrs Christie attend a spirituality retreat run by Townsville Catholic Education.  In was an Indigenous Spirituality retreat run in Winton, Western Queensland, where they had the opportunity to learn about and walk on sacred ground.  From all reports they had a wonderful time. It’s wonderful to be a part of the Diocese which offers opportunity for spiritual growth to its staff members!

Have a great week and God bless,

Nick
