Late Arrivals
We ask that all students arriving at school after 9am be signed in at the Front Office by a parent or appropriate caregiver. Thank you for your support with this.

Carpark Etiquette
We ask that all parents and carers using our carpark for pick up and drop off please do so with caution. With the increased use of the carpark we must all work together to ensure the safety of all our students. Please drive slowly through the carpark and park front in into a designated carpark. When reversing please be mindful of those around you and the flow of the traffic. The carpark space is limited and not designed for cars to turn around and go against the flow of the traffic. Thank you for your help with this.

School Board
Last Friday we sent home a note regarding School Board. We are seeking two interested parents to join our School Board. The Board meets the second Tuesday of every month has a decision-making role on certain policy areas and an advisory role in others. Specifically, the Board is responsible for developing, approving and monitoring the School’s annual budget; contributing to the longer term planning of the school; and consulting with the P & F on the expenditure of funds raised on behalf of the school community. Additionally, the Board has responsibility to provide advice on curriculum offerings, educational and student welfare policies and parent support processes. Please complete the form attached if you are interested.

Tuckshop
Just a reminder that our Tuckshop is open each Tuesday and Thursday and has a variety of food available for the students. With many schools, including those larger than ourselves, moving away from have a Tuckshop this is a privilege that can only continue to be maintained with the support of the community through purchasing lunch and volunteering. Please watch this space as restrictions lift and we seek volunteers going forward.

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 2021. Naturally Year 6 parents need not respond to this request.

COVID-19 UPDATE
In the case where your child is displaying flu-like symptoms, it is advised that your child and any siblings at St Benedict’s remain at home until the student seeks medical clearance. Once the student has been cleared and if necessary, tested and cleared of COVID, they can return to school. Until then, the student and siblings are not to return to school.
