Principal's Notes
After School Pick Up
Just a reminder that all children are to remain seated at their designated tree each afternoon after school whilst they wait to be picked up. No child is to be running around or playing on the equipment at this time. Please ensure that when picking up your child you come into the school grounds to do so. Could you please ensure that all people who pick up your children are aware of this rule? Thank you for your support with this.
Learning Showcase
Next Thursday, 27th June between 2pm and 4pm we will have the second of our Learning Showcases for the year. The Learning Showcases provide an opportunity for you to visit your child’s classroom and look at the great work they have been doing. It will also provide you with the opportunity to sit with your child and revisit the goals they set at the end of last term and work towards setting new goals for Term 3. It is also the perfect time to remember that your child thrives on praise from you. When you recognise the effort your child has put into their school work it boosts their self-confidence, which can result in better academic performance.
NAIDOC Dance Performance
Over the last two weeks the students have been participating in Aboriginal Dance Workshops with a specialist teacher. The students will be performing these dances at a special presentation on Thursday 4th July at 9.40am. We would love it if you were able to attend.
Year 6 Graduation and End of Year Mass
Year 6 Graduation and dinner will take place on Wednesday 18th December. The school end of year mass will also take place on this date. You may like to add both dates to your calendars.
Leaving St Benedict’s
If you anticipate that your child will leave St Benedict’s at the end of this year, could you please notify the Front Office where they a heading to. We need to begin planning for staffing and class configurations for 2020. Thank you to those who have let us know already, this is very much appreciated. Naturally Year 6 parents need not respond to this request.
