Our Principal’s News
By Fran Burke Acting Principal
Dear Parents,
Today our school celebrated “School Officer Day”; this
is a very significant event as we take time to
acknowledge and congratulate the incredible
contributions these professionals make to our school
community. We have twenty staff members who
work in the role of school officer, administration
support or maintenance of our grounds. Tasks are
very diverse as they range from providing first aide to
a child’s grazed knee, to reading individually with
students, to covering books in our resource centre…
These special people
are very generous and
ensure both the
teachers and
leadership positions
are supported through
their proactive efforts.
We are very blessed in
our community to have such incredibly giving and
competent people.
Mark returns back from Long Service Leave this
coming Monday 20th October. He is having an
amazing time and has shared some photos and news
with us…

Student Achievements
I would like to congratulate
Tiffany Visser, who has been
selected to play the lead
female role in a touring
musical presented by Fame.
She will be performing in
Brisbane and travelling to
Bundaberg, Maryborough,
Gympie, Nambour and Toowoomba to perform
in late November and December of this year.
We wish Tiff, all the very best on this
incredible achievement.
We also congratulate Lachlan
Brown (4W). He entered a ‘Save
the Bilby - Face the Challenge'
crossword competition and won
a book and CD for his
efforts. Well done Lachlan.
Hope things are going well at school. We are having a lovely time on our pilgrimage, it is such an amazing
experience and we have celebrated mass in some very special places. Today we are in Paris and celebrated mass
in the famous Sacre Coeur basilica early this morning. I have attached a few photos from some significant places
where we have been. We will be arriving back at the end of this week and alas all good things come to an end
eventually.
Take care and best wishes. Mark

This Monday 20th October is Consistency of Teacher
Judgement Day and therefore a Pupil Free day. Our
teachers will be joining staff from St Columba’s, Wilston
and Our Lady of the Angels, Wavell Heights to engage in
professional dialogue. This is time for our teachers to
share their professional judgements on completed
student assessment tasks. The conversation provides
insight and critical feedback from peer teachers from
other educational contexts. It is a very valuable day as
teachers have opportunities of affirmation as they
reflect on their teacher judgement. The focus areas will
be the Religious Education Curriculum and Geography
Curriculum.
Mrs Shears, our extremely talented Visual Art specialist
has entered into the 2014 Moreton Bay Region Youth
Art Awards 39 students’ individual art pieces as well as a
collaborative Year 4 artwork. This work was created by
our students during their art classes in Term 3. This
special event is hosted by the council celebrating young
creative minds and provides a wonderful opportunity for
children's artwork to be displayed in a professional
gallery setting. The awards night which is open to all
participants and their families is being held this Friday
evening, 17 October, at 6.00pm in the Strathpine
Community Centre, 199 Gympie Rd (cnr Mecklem St)
Strathpine. It is open to the public from 18 - 26 October,
week days 3 - 6pm and weekends 10 - 4pm. We would
warmly invite our parents to come along to this event to
see our talent students’ work.

and actions that are reflective of both our Benedictine
spirituality as well as doing our WALK: We Respect, Act
Responsibly, Learn Together and Keep Safe. As members of our school community, parents would lead by
showing these positive behaviours to their children, in particular, whilst driving within our school ground and
around the car park area. Please be respectful of each other as you role model to your children. We have 610
students who all finish at 2.45pm. In both afternoon areas, we have the Principal, APA, APRE as well as teaching
staff to ensure the students are safe and supervised until they are collected by their parent. This supervision ends
at 3.10pm and any remaining students are taken to the school office until collection. Therefore, I would
encourage parents to stagger their pick up time to help with the traffic congestion. We also desperately need
parents to assist with the “Look Out” Program. At present, we have very few or no volunteers coming on days.
This lack of support does mean it is much slower to put students into the vehicles, as we have to rely on our
staff, and this leads to a backup of traffic. This can be easily solved by helpers who can give up 15 minutes from
2.45pm to 3.00pm to help keep our children safe. If you are able to help out please see Brett or Ellen at the drive
through or let our office know.
I was speaking with Claire McLaren, the Principal of St Benedict’s Secondary College about this exciting time as
they prepare for the State change of Year 7 moving across to Secondary in 2015. The College’s new buildings are
close to completion and will be high quality, contemporary learning facilities. I would encourage our parents, if
you have any questions please direct these to the Secondary College office on 3385 8888.
Yours in education, Fran

School Officer Day
Today is School Officer Day where we recognise the important contribution our School Officers make to the
quality education of our students. Our School Officer colleagues truly make a difference in our school community
and we take the opportunity today to show our gratitude through a special staff morning tea. We presented each
of our School Officers with a certificate and small gift at today’s assembly.
Digital Citizenship Workshops
This week we have welcomed Kate O’Neill, a Brisbane
Catholic Education Officer Curriculum, to our Year 4 and 5
classes to facilitate Digital Citizenship workshops. Students
have revisited the concept of digital citizenship, they have
learnt what it means to be a good digital citizen, discussed
finding a balance in their lives between using digital devices
and other activities, examined their digital footprints and
the characteristics of cyberbullying. These workshops have been engaging and enlightening for our students as
they continue to work towards being good digital citizens. These presentations further support the ICT capability
in the Australian Curriculum as students build on their skills in communicating, investigating and creating with ICTs.
Band Excursion
Our Senior Band students will be participating in the St Columban’s College Concert Band Spectacular
this Friday 17th of October. This is a new competition that has been established to provide both Primary and
Secondary schools with the opportunity to showcase their concert bands and ensembles and share in the
performances of other schools in the Greater South-East Region. Each student receives a certificate of
participation and prize money will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in all sections. Our Senior Band will be
performing around 11am, students will be transported by bus and will leave school prior to first break and return
in time for lunch. If you would like to attend this event, tickets are available at the door for $5 each or $10 for a
family. We wish our Senior Band students a wonderful performance on Friday and are confident that they will
represent our school with pride.
Youth Art Awards
The individual artworks of
39 students and a Year
4 collaborative artwork all
created during art classes
during Term 3, have been
selected by Mrs Shears to
be entered into the 2014

Art Awards. It is a special

Next Monday the 20th of October is a Pupil Free Day. On
this day our teachers will join with staff from St
Columba’s at Wilston and Our Lady of the Angels at
Wavell Heights to engage in Consistency of Teacher
Judgement (CTJ) strategies. Teachers engage in
conversations with a focus on achieving consistency,
comparability and consensus about the standard of
student work. Teachers also engage in professional
development allowing them to build capacity in
engaging with the curriculum and understanding its
intent. Our School Officers will also participate in
professional development facilitated by Brisbane

Look Out Program
Parents, we are in great need of assistance with our
Look Out Program at our school Drive Through Zone in
the afternoons. Recently we have had to ask school staff
and teachers to assist in this area as we have had no
parent helpers on many occasions. Thank you to those
parents who have stepped in at the last minute to assist.
Volunteer look out monitors are needed to assist
students into their cars as this helps manage the flow of
traffic in our 2 minute pick up zone, in an orderly, safe
way. If you can spare 15 to 20 minutes on any
afternoon of the week from 2:45pm to assist in this
area, it would be greatly appreciated. Please let the
office know if you plan on offering your time.
Enrolments for 2015
It may seem early to talk about next year’s
enrolments, but our school staffing, budgeting and
resourcing all depend on how closely we estimate
our enrolment numbers for the following year. We
have students on waiting lists and we need to
order laptops for our Year 5 classes in 2015. So,
please let us know as soon as possible if your
children may not be returning to St Benedict’s
Primary School in 2015.
See the School Calendar on our website.

APRE Reflections
By Brett Kitchener Assistant Principal Religious Education
Dear Parents,
Holy Cross Parish Youth Launch
Today on assembly it was my pleasure to introduce our
parish seminarian, Dominic. Dominic is currently
promoting a youth launch in our parish. The youth group
is to be known as Connect Youth and information about
this launch can be found on my newsletter page, on the
poster in our undercover area and by contacting the Holy
Cross Parish. The launch will take place at the Holy Cross
Catholic Church, cnr of Anzac Avenue and Chelsea St,
Kippa Ring. Depending on the age of your children you
might wish to access part or all of the day’s events. I’m
certain the fun activities on the oval field between 2pm
and 4.30pm which are free of charge will be a wonderful
hit with the kids of all ages. The opportunity to attend
mass with the Archbishop at 5pm is also a highlight of the
day. I encourage as many St Benedict’s families as
possible to support this launch and to rsvp through the
parish office 3293 0800 or [email protected].
Catholic Mission
One of our and all Catholic schools
annual outreach initiatives is Catholic
Missions’ Socktober campaign. This
week is Anti -Poverty Week as Helen
Hickey mentions on her Pastoral
Coordinator newsletter page. It is an
appropriate time to highlight next
Wednesday’s Crazy Sock Day as we
“sock it to poverty” once again. Mrs
Fryer and 1B will lead us in prayer on
assembly next week with Socktober being the focus. As
always it will be wonderful to view all the colour of the
odd and creatively designed socks. We would appreciate
a gold coin donation from each student if possible please.
Families with more than one child can make their own
family decision in regard to their donation. Thanks, as
always, for your kindness. Your example is a living lesson
to the children of the Catholic Church’s tradition of alms
giving.
Prep Prayer Assembly
It was an absolute pleasure to share with our magnificent Prep students as they
lead us in prayer at this morning’s assembly. These children have come so far under
the excellent guidance of their teachers and school officers. Their prayer about
appreciation of our world was a valuable lesson in gratitude which we all need to be
reminded of as we battle with daily troubles and concerns. Our world truly is a
wonderful place as our Preps so vividly demonstrated.
Enjoy the rest of your week. Peace, Brett.

Anti-Poverty Week
Anti-Poverty Week 12th – 18th October is a week
where all Australians are encouraged to organise or
take part in an activity aiming to highlight or overcome
issues of Poverty in Australia and overseas. Recent
statistics tell us that, sadly, 1 in 7 Queenslanders are
living in poverty. Our St Benedict’s community has
opted to stand in solidarity with the poor with some of
our outreach initiatives this year.
During Term 2 our community generously donated
many personal items that contributed to the making of
100 care packs for Rosies to deliver to many of their
friends living on the street.
Next week our community will “sock it to poverty” as
we support Catholic Missions, who support and stand
with the poorest of the poor in Third World Countries.
In November, our St Benedict’s Community will have
the opportunity of donating non-perishable food items
that St. Vincent de Paul will collect and share with
families in crisis at this time, bringing a little comfort
and joy to their lives before Xmas.
When we, as individuals and communities, stretch our
hearts and share a little of what we have with the
poor, we become a vital part of the dream to create an
Australia free of poverty. Please take time to talk to
your child/ren this Anti – Poverty Week about how we
all can make a difference in changing poverty. I have
heard it said that each of us are only 24 hours away
from experiencing homelessness ourselves, if a sudden
change were to happen unexpectedly in our lives.
What a sobering thought!
May each of us be mindful of the blessings that
surround us and be ever ready to share our blessings
with those living in poverty.
St Benedict’s Playgroup
St Benedict’s Playgroup takes place on Thursday
mornings at the OSHC (Outside School Hours
Care) building from 8.45am – 10.15am. It is
supervised by Sandra Price one of the
wonderful OSHC staff.
All are most welcome.
A gold coin donation would be appreciated to
help cover craft costs.
Morning Tea every Wednesday after Assembly in the Hall with Helen. All are welcome!

Energex Safety Talks
Today we had Anthony Sullivan and Simon Spencer visit from
Energex, they are both members of their field staff. They
spoke with our students about electrical safety. They covered
concepts such as - safety in the home, how electricity is made,
how it is delivered to the home, what happens to the
electricity network when we have animal visitors and storms
and very importantly, how to stay safe during and after storms. It was a very interactive display – as you may be
able to see from the pictures.
Students were given a little package of posters to take home with them they include information about: electrical
safety, fallen power lines, safety around water, looking up and being safe, storm safety and an electrical word
search. I encourage you to speak with your child/ren tonight about the concepts spoken about, particularly in the
lead up to storm season.

You may have accidently taken home someone else's school gear.
Please check your gear at home and return any ‘lost property’ to

through our orange ‘lost property’ baskets in the office any time.
Lost Property?
Please be mindful: With a school consisting of over 600 students,
property is bound to get mixed up or lost sometimes. If you label your
child's property clearly, it is quickly returned to students when it is
found. Unclaimed ‘lost property’ is donated at the end of each term.
