Stories from our community
Reception worked really hard in STEP's 'Cutlery Workshop', mastering skill, an understanding of safety and greater confidence in this important life skill. They will revisit this every term as they gain greater independence cutting their food. 🍴🍽️🧑🍳🎯 pic.twitter.com/fICiG2srBu— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) November 18, 2024

The children had an unforgettable time in the ‘It Takes Guts’ workshop at the science museum! They explored how food moves through the digestive system with interactive demos, using real food, simulated saliva, bile, and other digestive liquids. 🫘🧪 pic.twitter.com/saNrzE5xxl— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) November 13, 2024

Anti-Bullying Week's theme this year is 'Choose Respect'. Here at Benedict we know the importance of working together and respecting differences. We have chosen to raise awareness by wearing odd socks. "We are all the same but different!" -Pupil Parliament pic.twitter.com/0bdz9ctLKJ— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) November 12, 2024

We are so grateful for a parent within our school community, Mr Georgatos, for his contribution of his time and his (delicious) food at our carnival! Yesterday morning before the carnival, the busy father hosted a healthy eating workshop for the children in our early years! pic.twitter.com/Le4zqZy0au— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) October 19, 2024

We had PC Mark Towler in go visit Year 6 yesterday afternoon. He spoke to the children about how to stay alert and safe. The children were invited to ask as many questions as they wished and were impressed with Mark's anecdotal nuggets of wisdom. pic.twitter.com/k6pXKEbyIO— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) October 17, 2024
