Principal's Message
End of Term Drive By – Tomorrow, Thursday 9th April
Tomorrow, Thursday 9th April, from 1pm to 3pm the St Benedict's staff will be holding a drive through candle and liturgy collection for families. We encourage all families to come to the school entrance, drive through and collect their candles and copy of the liturgy in preparation for the Children's liturgy on Saturday evening. This is a great opportunity for the children to see and wave at their teachers (and vice versa). Staff will be at the front of the school (at socially accepted distance) and would love to see the kids before Easter. I am sure the students would love to see them too!
Who empties your dishwasher?
Below is a link to an article that I love! Entitled How emptying the dishwasher can build independence by Michael Grose from Parenting Ideas. This article describes perfectly one of the goals of all parents: to develop independent and capable young people.
I encourage every parent to use 3 minutes to read it. Be affirmed in what you already do or let it affirm something you’ve been thinking of doing. The school holidays are a perfect time to help children develop new independent routines for the term ahead.
