Access to Skoolbag App
Besides this weekly bulletin that is emailed to all families, the Skoolbag App is a valuable tool for communication for the St Benedict's community.
Newsletters, announcements, alerts to changes or variations, reminders etc can all be accessed through the Skoolbag App. It is free to download. Don't miss out on this opportunity to keep up with all that is happening at St Benedict's.
HSC Special Provisions
Disability provisions for the Higher School Certificate are designed to assist students who couldn't otherwise make a fair attempt to show what they know in an exam room.
A formal application has to be made to apply for provisions, which will be determined by NESA. Provisions are granted solely by how the students exam performance is affected.
Students who think they may be eligible are encouraged to click on the link below for more information. Students will also need to contact Mrs Keedle as soon as possible, as formal applications need to be submitted by the end of Term 1.
