Principal's Notes
St Benedict’s Colour Splash & Dash
On Monday this week the students bought home a letter and sponsorship card outlining how the St Benedict’s Colour Splash and Dash works and how they can raise funds. Please encourage your children to participate in this fundraising opportunity. The St Benedict’s Colour Splash & Dash will take place on Friday 20th September and we would love as many parents to be involved as possible. We are hoping that this could be a real community event, so don’t forget that you can participate in the Colour Run!
Whole School Performance – St Benedict’s ‘Disneyland’
Don’t forget the date for the whole school performance is the 25th September. Doors will open at 6pm for 6.30pm start. All students are participating in the performance and are busily practising their class items and whole school finale.
Winter Sport
Congratulations to many of our students who have been playing a range of sports over the winter months. A particular congratulations to the members of the St Benedict’s Netball Club who did a wonderful job representing our school in the Winter Competition at Deakin. A particular thank you to our parent coaches, Suzie Clarkson, Belinda Daunt, Olga Morabito and Belinda Eidum for hard work throughout the season. Thank you to all our players and supporters for a very successful season. Good luck to our Year Five and Six team who are competing in the finals this week!! They are playing at 10.30am at the netball courts at Deakin (next to the Mint) if you would like to come along and cheer them on.
School Uniform
A reminder that Summer Uniform commences in Term 4, so please check the wardrobe and visit the Clothing Pool and Savvy if any items are needed. We will have the usual transition period early in Term 4 to cater for the unpredictable weather.
A reminder that black leather school shoes are an essential item of uniform. Several parents comment that their Year 6 child only has one term left at school. However, students also need black school shoes in high school.
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. 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.
