Thank you to Year 2 Kingfishers who presented assembly this week about the Third Sunday of Lent, where they talked about prayer and trusting in God.  They looked at a Lent being a time to be more prayerful in an attempt to grow our connection with God and allow that wisdom to guide and transform us in our lives.  

Each week on assembly, our classes have also been presenting the school with information about each of our actions in the St Benedict’s Way of Peace.  It has been wonderful to see our students responding positively to our ‘Way of Peace’, with one day this week seeing 16 Green Slips being sent home! We are continuing to grow this in our school and will continue to encourage our students to demonstrate Persistence, Empathy, Accountability, Care for Community and Engagement!

ECSI Project - REPEAT

Thanks to the 26 parents who have already completed the ECSI Survey (which brings us to around half the respondents required to get usable data).  A reminder that the ECSI Project survey is live and we are seeking feedback from families about the Catholic Identity of our school.  Please see the note attached in the newsletter for information about how to access.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated and will help St Benedict’s to further develop its Catholic Identity.

Project Compassion

Each week, Project Compassion has a video to show how they are supporting people and communities around the world.  Please see the link below to see one of the many projects around the world and to see where your donations might be spent.  This week's story takes us to Tanzania and is about a woman named Oliva.  A reminder that each class has a Project Compassion box to receive donations, as well as boxes being available for collection in our office for your students to take home.
