Our Principal’s News
By Mark Creevey
Dear Parents,
Many events and activities are heralding the proximity of the end of the school year. We have the Graduation
ceremonies for the Year 6 and 7 students scheduled for the 26th and 27th of November. We also have also a
number of other activities being enjoyed by different classes so I invite you to join in with as many as possible.
These are all listed on the school website for your convenience and advanced planning.
Today we thanked our many volunteers with a morning tea and prayer. We are blessed with so many generous
parents who contribute to the learning of the students in so many different ways. A special “Thank You” to all of
our volunteers, even if you were not able to be present today. Your regular contributions of time and expertise
are most appreciated by both staff and students. Our community are all the richer because of your presence
within our school community. Well Done!
One of the activities that we are currently embarking on is the Christmas Collection for St Vincent
De Paul. Children are invited to bring an item along to school and we will present these to the
SVDP society in the last week. It is interesting that in Matthew’s Gospel which will be shared at
Sunday’s Mass the message is closely aligned with what we are doing here at St. Benedict’s.
“Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you
since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me
drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in
prison and you came to see me.” Then the virtuous will say to him in reply; “Lord, when did we see you
hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you
welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?” And the king will answer, “I tell you
solemnly, in as far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.”
This week I announced Mrs Burke’s news of her appointment as Principal at St. Joseph’s
Bardon. We wish her well in her new challenge next year. I have currently invited
Expressions of Interest for the vacant Acting APA position here at St. Benedict’s. This
process will be conducted next week. Next year Mrs Lund will be going on Maternity Leave
early in the New Year and Mrs Ruth Sharman has been engaged to fill the position. Mrs
Sharman has been working at All Saints Catholic School and has been in the same role at
previous schools. We congratulate and welcome Ruth to our team in 2015.

I had planned to have report cards out to parents this
Friday but it is more likely to be Monday as I have 610
reports to read and sign. It is a very busy time of year
as we wrap up the current school year as well as put in
place staff, policies and changes for 2015.
With Advent just around the corner, the thought for
the week: “Love came down at Christmas, wrapped in
the birth of the infant Jesus.”
Have a great week!
Regards
Mark

Dear St Benedict’s Community
It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to this
beautiful community at the end of this year. I have
been truly blessed over the past 7 years working with
you in partnership as together we have journeyed in
your child’s education. There are many abundant
blessings I take with me from my leadership
experiences and incredible memories that will guide
me in my future endeavours as a leader. I am very
excited to be appointed Principal at St Joseph’s at
Bardon. I really look forward to this new chapter in
my leadership journey and look forward to creating
many new memories with the Bardon community. I
would like to extend my deepest gratitude and thanks
to our students, staff and parents. On our weekly
assembly I am constantly promoting how wonderful St
Benedict’s is to be part of and I mean this with great
sincerity, this community will always hold a very
special place in my heart and I thank you for walking
with me on my journey.
Best wishes, Fran

On Thursday 20 November, we welcome 20 new students who will be joining St Benedict’s in 2015. These
students will be coming for the afternoon session beginning at 1.30pm. As Mark and Brett address the parents of
these new 2015 students, the students will join their cohort for the afternoon session to meet some friendly
faces.
Student Council
This Friday 21 November at first break will be our “Break Up Pizza Party” for our Semester 1 and 2 Student
Council. These students play an incredible part in our school. The student council committee are responsible for
many Social Action and Justice initiatives as well as many student social events. This committee gives our
students a voice to contribute further to the life at St Benedict’s. I would like to extend an enormous thank you to
Mrs Helen Hickey and Mr Jason Lay for supporting the leadership of this committee.
Our Junior Band performed for our Years 2 and 3 students in the hall last week. Notes were sent home
to all of our Year 2 and 3 students, where parents and students were able to nominate an instrument
they may like to learn next year. This note is due back to school by this Wednesday the 19th of November. Our
Band coordinator Mr. Donald Smith will then be conducting instrumental music testing with these interested
students on Wednesday the 26th of November. We look forward more students joining the Junior Band in 2015.

APRE Reflections
By Brett Kitchener Assistant Principal Religious Education
Dear Parents,
Compassion
On assembly this morning Year 5B shared a wonderful prayer on the theme of Compassion and made the link to
our annual St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. As I mentioned to the students we are not assisting people in
our local community to purchase toys and electronic devices like many children receive, rather we are assisting
children and families to have sufficient food to eat over the Christmas season. This is very hard for our children to
grasp as they very much take having sufficient food for granted and thankfully so.
On Monday I talked to the children on assembly about doing a task for you at home prior to being given an item
of food from your pantry to bring along. In this way the alms giving we are committing to is accompanied by
generational learning in our children. Please continue to support this important appeal next week with food items
and donations of Eco storage bags if you are able.
Carols at Assembly
Last week I also mentioned that at our Carols event on the final Wednesday of term, December 3rd, the
children will be encouraged to come to school dressed in Christmas colours of red and green. In the past some
of the students have put tinsel in their hair and other appropriate accessorising. On this day, if a gold coin can be
brought along for the privilege of dressing in this way, this money will support the Annual Catholic Campaign in
their important work. The Annual Catholic Campaign gives us the opportunity to act together as one Church
family to support ministries and services that no individual parish or school can offer.
Farewell and Liturgy Celebration
On Friday December 5th the final school day for the year it is most important as a Catholic school community that
we finish the year in a prayerful way. We will be having a liturgy and celebration starting in the hall at 11am.
This annual occasion provides us with the opportunity of farewelling students, family and staff leaving our
community of which there are many this year and recognising their contribution to our community. Parents are
most welcome to join us at this important time.
Christmas Eve Mass
In addition to our school Carols Assembly, our Parish will have carols at 5.30pm on Christmas Eve in the hall
here. There will also be a nativity re-enactment and most importantly a Mass from 6pm. If you are at home at this
time of year, the parish community would love to have you involved in this wonderful expression of community.
Thanks
This morning we recognised parents and grandparents who have generously assisted our school community this
year in many varied ways. We recognise that some parents who work full time are unable to be at school as
regularly as they would like and thank these parents also for their support of what we do. We hope those who
were able to attend the morning tea this morning realised our appreciation for your kind and generous efforts this
year. We extend once again our sincere thanks.
Prayers
On behalf of the St Benedict’s community we would like to offer prayers, support and congratulations for Dominic
our seminarian in the Holy Cross Parish. This week Dom will celebrate his ordination to the diaconate. Dominic is a
wonderful man who brings the joy of the Holy Spirit to all he meets. We wish Dom well.
Congratulations
I wanted to acknowledge finally the achievement of my colleague Fran Burke for her appointment to Principal in
2015. Fran is excited at the prospect of leading a new community. I wish her every success and happiness.
Peace be with you and your families at this busy and often emotional time.

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal
Playgroup
Our final Playgroup and Christmas break up will be
tomorrow 20th November 8.45am – 10.15am. Come
and join in the fun. Please bring a plate of goodies to
share. We thank Sandra Price (OSHC) for providing
the opportunity on a Thursday morning for our little
ones to have some fun and our parents time to chat
and relax for a little while. Play group will continue
in 2015 on a Thursday morning from Week 3 – 12th
February. All pre-school age children are most
welcome. It’s a great opportunity for our little ones
to meet new friends that they might then share
school days with.
Come to the LAST
St Benedict’s Playgroup
of the year.
Please continue to give generously to our St Vincent de
Paul Christmas appeal. Non-perishable items are
being collected in all classrooms. Our appeal will close
on Tuesday 2nd December.
Non-perishable food items include:
 Christmas puddings
 Tinned fruit – peaches, pineapple, apricots
 Baked beans, spaghetti
 Jatz biscuits, rice crackers
 Cashews, mixed nuts
 Fruit & nut mix
 Muesli bars
 Packet lollies, marshmallows (no chocolate)
 Pringles, pretzels
 Milo, Drinking chocolate
 Pancake shaker mix
 Breakfast cereal
 Rice, pasta
Please do not send any chocolate items along as they
won’t cope with our present heat wave!
Many thanks.
The last St Benedict’s Playgroup of 2014 will
take place on Thursday 20th November at the
OSHC (Outside School Hours Care) building from
8.45am – 10.15am.
All are most welcome. Please bring a plate to
share for our end of year celebration.
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.
Oops, that’s not my hat?
You may have accidently taken home someone else's school gear.
Please check your gear at home and return any ‘lost property’ to
the school office. Thank You! Parents are welcome to check
through our orange ‘lost property’ baskets in the office any time.

Library News
RETURNS WEEK
Just a reminder that this week is RETURNS ONLY to the library. The end of year is a very busy time for all, but
particularly in the library where returns are in the thousands! We would appreciate the quick return of items to
the library to help this process.
Overdue notices will be issued shortly. Please check for all outstanding library books and home reading books.
Unfortunately books that are not found, will need to be paid for.
CHRISTMAS BORROWING
Last week students received a note about the option of borrowing books over the Christmas period. To be eligible
for Christmas borrowing students must not have any overdue books. Students have the option of borrowing up
to 10 books for the holidays. Please return these notices ASAP. Holiday borrowing will happen in the last week of
school.
READING UNDER THE STARS – THE SOUTHERN CROSS READING CHALLENGE
Did you know that when students don’t read over the long summer break they are likely to fall behind when they
return to school in the New Year? We call this the ‘Summer Slide’. Make it a priority to keep your child’s mind
sharp and active. Encourage them to read for at least 10 minutes everyday during the break to avoid the
‘Summer Slide’. What better way to beat the ‘Summer Slide’ than visiting our St. Benedict’s Scholastic Book Fair
and purchasing some new books for the holidays!
SUMMER READING CLUB
Another great reading opportunity is from the State Library of Queensland, who
is hosting a ‘Summer Reading Club’. Visit http://www.summerreadingclub.org.au
to find out more.
PLEASE READ
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
Wish Lists:
By now you should have all received the note that was
distributed last week about Book Fair, as well as a brochure
showing you some of the items that will be available for
purchase. On Friday 21st November and Monday 24th
November, students will visit the Book Fair with their
buddy classes and have the opportunity to create a wish
list of books that they like.
Payment Options:
Preferred payment is via online details on the back of the
wish list (see below). Alternatively, there will be cash sales and EFTPOS facilities.
Online Payments:
You have the option of completing the back of the wish list form. Once the back of this form is completed, it is
essentially like a gift card. Your child can bring this back to school, choose the books they like and use this form to
purchase the items. If you are unable to make it to the book fair, this is our preferred method of payment, as it is
safer than your child carrying money to and from school.

On Wednesday 12 November the Food
Technology Department opened its doors and
welcomed St Benedict’s Primary School in to
share our fabulous kitchen facilities. Year 5R
with their teachers Mrs Kris Clancy and Miss
Sophie Morris and four parent helpers came
along at 7.20am to prepare a healthy breakfast
for the class. They have been studying a unit
titled “Breakfast is cool”. While studying this unit
students have learnt all about the human body,
healthy food options and why breakfast really is
the most important meal of the day. When it
came to put all their theory into practice the
students were so very excited. They had an
opportunity to come and visit the Food
Technology room on the Tuesday before their
cooking lesson to learn about hygiene and
safety and how to work in a high school
classroom. The following morning they all
arrived ready to prepare their healthy breakfast.
Amazing smells came from the kitchen as the
class prepared breakfast muffins with bacon,
eggs, tomato and cheese and chilled fruit
smoothies. Not only did the class have the
opportunity to eat their healthy breakfast but
they also learnt new skills from using a range of
different types of kitchen equipment. Year 5
certainly had a fun morning and we hope to see
them again before the end of the term as we
organise a Christmas surprise for them to
prepare in our kitchen.

and parking lot speed zones. Do not
be a danger to our school community.
DRIVE SLOWLY AND SAFELY.
