2021 St Benedict's Year 12 student Marco Corbo has won the gold medal in the Junior Trap Men's Final at the ISSF Junior World Cup. The event, held in Suhl, Germany was Marco's international debut.

In the medal match Marco was tied with Brazilian competitor Daruich and USA competitor Thompson with a score of 5/5 after 5 targets .

He continued his winning streak with a score of 10/10 after 10 targets.

Marco went on to win the gold for Australia with a score of 32/35.

St Benedicts Catholic College community congratulate Marco and his family for their commitment and dedication.

After the last few years of not being able to organise excursions and tours for school in Australia we are pleased to advise that the College will be undertaking an Immersion Tour to Northern Territory in 2023.

We believe this immersion tour will fosters cultural awareness, empathy and independence.

I have attached a Flyer that provides further information about this immersion tour. Please contact Mr Peter Morris Year 10 Coordinator, if you require an expression of interest or need further information about this tour.

It’s not too late to sign up for the Premier’s Reading Challenge.

The challenge commenced in February but registration is still open. You can count books you have read since the last challenge ended and our lovely Library team can help you register and log your reading records and also help you find your loan history.

The challenge is to read 20 books - 15 from the PRC list and 5 personal choice books by 19 August 2022. You might be surprised to find you have already read a few.

Not only do you receive a NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge Certificate, the Library is also providing a prize pack for all those students who attempt the challenge as well as house points and merits.

BOOK WEEK 20-26 August 2022

Come in and see us in the Library or keep an eye on Oliver for other upcoming news and events.

Again this year, the Social Justice team are supporting local charity, We Are Community, who service the Macarthur Region. In order to do this, the team is asking for food donations as well as warm items such as blankets, hats, scarves, gloves and socks. Each STRIVE group has been allocated a food item to donate which can be brought into school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from now until Monday Week 2, Term 3 during STRIVE lessons.

Bennies Bring a Blanket is back next term, Friday Week 2, with a few new additions. This is an afternoon and evening where students can experience being outdoors during winter with little food or equipment to keep warm. There will be permission notes sent out via Compass for attendance with all details. More information for this event is coming soon!

There are many fantastic opportunities available for students at our College. Unfortunately many of those experiences are not photographed due to student permission to publish forms not being returned to the College Office.

If your student has been involved in a sporting team or extra curricular activity but their photo has not been published in the newsletter please complete the permission to publish form and lodge the form at the College Office.

The permission to publish form is available to download here

Families of current Year 5 students are invited to complete an Expression of Interest for Enrolment for Year 7, 2024.
