Tennis Clinic
Last Thursday all of our students participated in their first Tennis Clinic with Coach Robbie. The students all had a turn at hitting a tennis ball with a racquet. This is the firs
t time we have had tennis as a sport run at school and we look forward to observing their growing confidence and skills over the next few weeks.

Thank you to the many students who submitted entries for the writing competition.
Good luck to all!!
We are excited to inform you that we are in the process of creating a “MakerSpace” here at St Benedict’s. A MakerSpace is an area that allows for creativity and innovation to occur so that students can engage in learning experiences that allow them to make real life connections. For example, within this MakerSpace our students will have the freedom to design, engineer, fabricate, create, build and collaborate. MakerSpaces provide students with a place to tinker and develop something that may not have been possible to create without a space with resources. We are so excited to bring this opportunity to our students, but in order to have a space that is useful, we are in need of items to be donated to the space. We will be compiling a list of items and will soon be asking that they are brought into school to help develop this space. Some examples of the types of donations that we may need are things like: Plastic Bags, pipe cleaners, broken electronics, wire, old lego, string, unwanted tools, paper towel rolls.
