Dear Parents,
Our first term is quickly drawing to a close with only
a little over a week to go until the Easter Vacation.
Next Wednesday we will not have our normal
assembly as we will be focussing on the Passion of
Jesus. The Year 5 students will lead us in this special
prayerful occasion. All parents are most welcome to
attend. Today is also a special feast day in the church
year which is called the Annunciation. I had the
pleasure of visiting the Church of the Annunciation in
Israel a couple of years ago and it is one of those
special places to visit, pray and reflect.

This week we have shared with the students two short trials to evaluate if these
procedures might work better than current practices. The first trial is that each
morning one of the staff on duty will offer to take students for a walk & talk on the
oval from 8 to 8:20am. The second trial is that the students will at the second
break go out to play first and then come and eat their afternoon snack. We will be
watching to see if it has any benefits and if the students are more settled when
they return to class.
On assembly today we congratulated all of our
students who participated in the Cross Country
Carnival on Monday and presented medallions to our
age champions. We also congratulated the Anicii
House on being the winning team on the day. Thank
you to Mrs Creese for her organization and invitation
to do things differently. Thank you to the P&F for the
iceblocks for each runner and providing snacks and
refreshments. Well Done!

We have been filling our vacancies created by our teachers who have recently
gone on Maternity Leave. Mrs Lisa Gallagher has been employed as our
Curriculum Support Teacher and will start her responsibilities in the first week of
Term 2. Mrs Fryer has been the successful teacher for the Support Teacher:
Inclusive Education role. We congratulate Mrs Fryer on her appointment but this
will necessitate us finding a new teacher for 1B. There is an advertisement for this
position on the BCE website. We are seeking a great teacher for our Year 1 class.
On the maternity front, we congratulate Mrs Amanda Bradford on the birth of her
son Lachlan about a week ago and we also congratulate Mrs Lund on the birth of
their son Samuel on Friday evening. Congratulations to both families on these very
special occasions.
As I mentioned last week we will be seeking a suitably qualified person to take
over the role of the Café Co-ordinator/Convenor here at St. Benedict’s in Term 2.
If you believe that you could be this person I would invite you to put in an
application for the position. The position would entail paid work on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Some of the responsibilities would be organizing a roster of
volunteers, ordering food, preparing a healthy menu for students and keeping
records of expenditure. If you would like to be considered for this position could I
ask you to put in an application stating skills and experiences which would be
beneficial for this position. More details are available from the school office.
Anzac Day
It has been 100 years since the landing at Gallipoli. This year St Benedict's would
like to commemorate this special event with the help of our whole school
community. Please remember to contact Mrs O’Hanlon (one of out Yr 3 teachers)
if you can contribute. kohanlon@bne.catholic.edu.au
Thought for the Week: “Give love today. Love others. Love your family. Love God.
God will see to it that you have sufficient love, and give you more in return than
you can ever give away.”

Dear Parents,
The term is quickly ending and yet as tired as we are, our learning journey continues until bell time on the last
day of term. As I walk around the school I witness our learners still wholly engaged in the process of learning in
their classrooms and in their specialist lessons of Music, Art, LOTE, PE as well as in their playtime.
This week we have added a new dimension to our before school procedures –
it is ‘Walk and Talk’ time on the oval. For the remainder of term it will be a casual
‘walk around with our friends’ enjoying some physical activity before school (this is
very good for our brains before we learn). Next term we will be creating the space
as a walking club called Let’s WALK with a process for the children to clock up
their kilometres and to be recognized for their efforts – may be a different
St Benedict’s Walk!
LET ‘S
Another initiative we are trialling is ‘Play before Eat’, this is occurring at 2nd break this week. We will see if it
makes a difference to our learners and their learning in the afternoon session. When the bell goes the children go
directly to their play area and after the 20min playtime a bell goes for them to return to their verandahs and sit,
eat, drink, cool down and calm down for class. We will let you know how the trial goes.
This week you should have received an order form for the school jumper, which is a new
addition to the uniform at school. The jumper will not replace the jacket, and can be considered an
optional extra.
Meet the Staff: Anita Blackwell (2B)
Hello, my name is Anita and it’s great to finally be here at St Benedict’s!! Four years
ago I officially became a staff member of this beautiful community. However, due to
maternity leave and job share agreements I had to delay my start here. My husband
and I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters. Our older daughter is
currently attending St Benedict’s Kindergarten. So, you will often see me taking the
big walk or run to and from the Kindy in afternoons and mornings.
My teaching career began 9 years ago with BCE and I have taught at St Agnes Mt
Gravatt, St Joseph’s Bardon and Holy Spirit at Bray Park. From each school I have
gained many positive experiences that have enhanced my teaching in many areas.
One of my favourite things to do on holidays is to go camping with my family. It’s
great to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. I am very pleased to be
teaching here at St Benedict’s and I look forward to working with this wonderful community. Anita

Brain Rule 9: VISION TRUMPS ALL OTHER SENSES.
‘Brain Rules’ Dr John Medina
 Vision is by far our most dominant sense, taking up half of our brain’s resources.
 What we see is only what our brain tells us we see, and it’s not 10% accurate.
 The visual analysis we do has many steps. The retina assembles photons into movie-like streams of
information. The visual cortex processes these streams: some areas registering motion, others registering
colour, etc. Finally, we recombine that information so that we can see.
 We learn and remember best through pictures, not through written or spoken words.
And on that note about vision, I heard on the radio this week that scientists have developed glasses to help
colourblind people see colour! Amazing! If that is of interest to you, you may like to visit this site and watch a
little clip. http://www.valsparcolorforall.com/
Have a great week.
Kind Regards,
Jo

Dear Parents,
Treats for Caritas
Each year classes demonstrate initiative by approaching me with their intention to
sell treats to raise money for our annual Caritas appeal. This year we decided to
do all activities of this kind in one week so parents were aware and the need to
remember money for treats all throughout the term could be avoided. Significant
amount of work goes into these events. I appreciate that many parents are part of
this work particularly when it comes to making cup cakes. The recipients of this
work who receive our donations next term would be very appreciative of our
endeavours.
Holy Week
Next Wednesday on assembly our entire assembly will be devoted to a
dramatization of the events of Holy Week. Our Year 5 classes this year will assist
us in telling this most important story. This is always a most meaningful
experience for all concerned. I encourage you to attend at 8.30am in the hall if you
are able to.
Religious Education Curriculum
Our teachers are currently involved in preparing the units of work for next term.
This has provided me opportunity to meet with the teachers to discuss plans for
Religious Education in Term 2. All classes are preparing rich curriculums which are
planned to develop the religious literacy of our students.
Pastoral Care Parents
A note is going home today to classes where a Pastoral Care parent has not yet
been identified. This is not a task which is overly difficult or time consuming but
rather is rich and rewarding. Please consider this opportunity carefully as our
community benefits greatly from the involvement of our parents.
Thanks to those parents who have already volunteered for this important role.
After we have identified representatives for all classes we will meet as a group
early next term.

National Batten Disease Awareness Day 31st March
Batten Disease is a rare, debilitating and degenerative
condition where children are born appearing healthy and
then, in as little as a year, lose eyesight, begin to have
seizures, lose the ability to walk and talk and then over
further years eventually become dependent in every
aspect of their lives. In many cases, as these symptoms are
hard to explain, Batten Disease can go undetected for
some time. In some cases it has been years before a
complete and accurate diagnosis has been made. There
are only about 40 known cases of Batten Disease in
Australia and New Zealand. There is no known cure or treatment for Batten Disease - it is always fatal. Hearing
the words that your child will never grow to adulthood is indescribable and unfathomable. Much needed
research continues as scientists strive to find a cure for this deadly disease.
This week we remember all children and their families living with Batten’s disease.
Let’s find a special place in our hearts for all families facing incurable illness and life
changing disabilities. Every birth is an amazing miracle. As each of us lives life,
striving to reach our own potential, may we be strengthened in the knowledge that
we never walk alone in the journey of life. Our God walks beside us in sickness and
in health, in life and in death.
Peace & blessings,
Helen

Coaching Children to Resolve Conflict
The skills needed for effective conflict resolution include skills for managing
emotions, as well as thinking skills for problem-solving and communicating
with others.
The key conflict resolution skills are:
 being able to control angry or anxious feelings
 learning to listen even when you disagree
 understanding the other person’s opinions and feelings
 being able to think of different solutions
 exchanging ideas with the other person
 finding ‘win-win’ solutions.

How parents and carers can help:
Using the steps of conflict resolution to coach children to come to their own solutions
helps them learn the skills they need. Learning to resolve conflict successfully takes good
coaching and lots of practice.
Coaching children to resolve conflict:
Step 1:
Help children see conflict as a problem they can sort out fairly, with help, for example: “It looks like
there’s a problem here. I’m sure if we talk about it we can sort it out.”
Step 2:
Get each child to explain how they see the conflict. Get them to focus on what they want or need,
and what their concerns or worries are, rather than blaming the other person.
Step 3:
It is often helpful for the coach to then re-state the concerns of both parties, for instance: “So, Eli,
you’re worried that you won’t get a turn; and Van, you’re trying to make it to the next level of the
game and you’re worried that if you stop now you won’t get to it.”
Step 4:
Get children to suggest at least three different solutions, such as: “What are some ways to solve this
so you can all feel okay about it?” If they can’t think of any, offer some ideas for them to think about.
Step 5:
Help children agree on a solution that will work and put it into action.
Step 6:
Praise them for sorting it out

to St Benedict’s and our community. You can find regular
updates at www.moretonbayrail.qld.gov.au
