Mass for the Feast of all Benedictine Saints
Date: Tuesday 13 November
Time: 9.15am.
Please join us as we celebrate the Feast of St Benedict (our school saint). St Benedict’s feast day is held on 11 July. However, as this falls on the school holidays, we have decided to celebrate our school feast day on 13 November every year, which is the day for All Benedictine Saints.

From the wise words of Dr Seuss:

Christmas Mufti Friday 24 November
Students and teachers are encouraged to come to school dressed in your green, white and red Christmas clothes. Students will be asked to contribute a gold coin donation. This money will be used to add to hampers or buy small gifts such as soft toys, books, or beach towels.
Christmas Cards of Hope Lunchtime Club
Each Tuesday in Weeks 4-8 students are invited to join the Mini Vinnies team in the STEM ROOM to make Christmas Cards that will be added into the hampers. Students are to bring their pencil cases with scissors and glue.
There is lots to look forward to at this time of year and Miss Rae, Mrs Apolloni and The Mini Vinnies team thank you for your support.
