Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for a great Term 3. It’s been very busy and very productive. Everyone has achieved so much and earned a well-deserved rest.

St Benedict’s Splash & Dash

Thank you to the P&F for their organisation of a great community occasion last Friday. A big thank you to Ms Sonia Brown and Mrs Hannah Norgorve who were the main organisers of the event, and who thought and planned for every possible occurrence, and worked hard to ensure the day was a great success. So many children told me it was ‘the best day ever!’ Thank you to those parents who helped out on the day and the St Edmund’s students who joined in the run. Thank you to those students and parents who have returned their sponsorship cards and money. We would like to announce our prize winners at the first assembly back next term, so could all sponsorship cards and money be returned by Tuesday 15^th October (first day of Term 4).

Whole School Performance – St Benedict’s ‘Disney’
We’re really looking forward to the whole school performance this evening in our school hall. It has been two years since our last whole school performance and the children have been practising a lot, with every child having a part to play in the performance.

Thank you so much to all the parents who have helped in finding and sourcing costumes for their children. We really appreciate your support.

Please remember that all students need to be dropped off to the Year 5 and 6 classrooms at 6pm. The hall doors will open at 6.00pm and the P&F will be running a canteen between 6pm and 6.30pm. Parking is available in the carpark, on the oval, in the street and across the road at Narrabundah College.

I wish to thank all of our staff for the wonderful effort in putting this fun evening together and of course a big thank you to all students whom without there would be no show. Your enthusiasm and excitement for the performance has been infectious!

Recharge, Reflect, Reset, Restart
We all know the three Rs of school, but what about the four Rs of the holidays? My hope is that everyone in our community experiences a nourishing break over the holiday period and have lots of opportunities to Recharge, Reflect, Reset and Restart! We look forward to having everyone return to us safe, happy and healthy next term.

God bless.
