Thank you to everyone who responded so positively to my messages about the importance of wearing our school uniform last week. It has been wonderful to see some improvement in this area.

This morning however, we lost all our St Benedict’s students and staff and we welcomed a whole stack of Book Characters into our school. There were so many characters and they covered the theme of Old World, New worlds, Other Worlds very well. Thank you to Mrs Whalley who has planned our Parade course this year and all the Book Week activities in the library. Thanks also to all the parents and family members who were able to come along and enjoy the frivolity of the morning. Please see our facebook page for most of the photos from today’s fun.

Festival of Sport

Next week on Thursday, the majority of our Years 4/5/6’s will be off to play OzTag, Netball and Basketball in Townsville Catholic Education’s Festival of Sport. We wish them well and know they will have a fabulous day of competition and sportsmanship.

Pupil Free Day

Please remember that next Friday 3 September is a Pupil Free Day. Children will only come to school if they are booked into OSHC.

Father’s Day Mini Golf

Don’t forget our P&F have organised a fun morning of mini-golf for Father’s day on Sunday 5 September. Please get in quick for tickets as it is bound to be an awesome morning with the kids.

Have a fabulous week. 

Cheers

Penny Collins
