Year 12 Construction Practical Assessment Task
The Year 12 Construction class completed their Concreting Practical Assessment Task on Tuesday. They laid 4.2 cubic metres of concrete across four slabs. The slabs will be used to place four Picnic Tables that were generously donated by the Parents and Friends Association. Thank you to the P&F for the support of the school through the donation of the Picnic Tables.
The students did an exceptional job with this project and should all be very proud of their achievements.

This year the Library Staff are encouraging staff and students from St. Benedict’s to participate in “Bennie’s Book Bonanza” on Wednesday 24th August by dressing in their interpretation of “Dreaming with eyes open”.
Participants will be requested to donate a gold coin which will be donated to our local Indigenous Community’s very own Book Bonanza.
Every reader or listener has their own interpretation of when they read or hear a story. It is a journey your imagination takes you on.
You might like to:
dress up to depict your interpretation of a favourite book you have read or
explore some of the ‘first stories’ by clicking on the picture on our Library Home Page to read a D’harawal Dreaming Story and dress up as a bird or animal ONLY.
“Dream with your eyes open!”
At this time everyone will be able to:
Explore the library in a new light and open your eyes to the dream journeys available
Visit a selection of different genres we think will take you on your dream “with your eyes open”
Visit the book display within the library
Display your creative costumes in the COLA at lunchtime
Have your photo taken in front of our amazing display within the library
Donate a gold coin towards our local Indigenous Community to provide another community with a book bonanza
Create a sense of community
We look forward to seeing what amazing costumes our Bennie’s Community can create!

PICTON SCHOOL BUSES
To All Schools
We would like to notify you that from Monday 1st August 2022, Picton Buslines drivers and staff will be implementing a blitz on school student bus passes.
The Transport for NSW School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) provides eligible school students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school. When travelling between home and school, students must adhere to various regulations regarding passenger behaviour and the Codes of Conduct for travel by bus. One of the obligations of students is to show their travel pass or ticket when requested.
We ask that you notify any students that catch Picton Buslines buses to and/or from school to have their physical bus passes ready to display to the driver before boarding the bus. Note that we will not accept students showing a photo of their bus pass on their phone.
If a student is planning on catching the bus and they do not have a current valid bus pass, their pass is damaged or lost card, please inform their parents/guardians to contact our office on 02 4677 1564 or email us at info@pictonbuslines.com.au to organise a pass.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Andrew
