APRE NEWS 

We’ve made it to the end of the term.  I’d like to extend a big “well done” to all of our students, teachers and families on getting to the end of what has certainly been a very trying term.  I wish everyone a very restful break and can’t wait to see everyone back beginning next term.

Benny’s Got Talent Auditions

I’ve been lucky enough this week to get to hold auditions for students interested in taking part in our ‘Benny’s Got Talent” event.  I enjoyed seeing lots of different skills and commend ALL students who auditioned on their courage in putting their name forward and presenting a skill to other people.  Unfortunately we don’t have the time during the event to see everyone and some people have missed out.  I look forward to seeing our successful auditionees during the event and encourage all those students who didn’t make it to put their name forward next year.  At this stage we aren’t able to host other adults for the event, but would like to remind everyone that we plan on live-streaming to our community.  

 St Benedict’s Feast Day

Please see a repeat of some items we’d love you to bring in to make our Feast Day celebrations even more exciting for our students!

Contemplative Corner 

Contemplative Art Outside

Find a place outside where you can look at something natural, a tree, river, garden, anything.  Find a place by yourself and heighten your senses (what do you see, feel, smell, touch and hear). Focus on a particular thing to look at (a flower, a leaf, a tree, etc) or listen to and focus on that for the time you have set out.  You might choose to return to the same place more than once, or find different places to become fully aware of your surroundings.
