MISSION | In the busyness of College life, Community Prayer offers a moment to pause, reflect and come together in faith.
Each Wednesday morning, students and staff gather in prayer, sharing their intentions, giving thanks and holding in their hearts those in our College community and the wider world in need of prayers.
These simple moments of shared prayer are an important expression of our Benedictine tradition, nurturing a community grounded in faith, compassion and Pax.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP | A warm welcome and a sense of belonging can make all the difference when starting high school. Yesterday, Year 10 students preparing to become Peer Leaders in 2027 participated in training to equip them to support our incoming Year 7 students as they begin their Bennies journey.
Through the Peer Leadership Program, students develop their communication, empathy and leadership skills as they guide younger students, build connections and help create a welcoming and supportive environment.
Grounded in the power of positive peer influence, the program recognises the important role relationships play in helping students feel secure, confident and connected as they transition to high school.
We look forward to seeing our Class of 2028 Peer Leaders put their training into practice as they welcome the Class of 2032 to Bennies next year.

CLASS OF 2026 | We wish the Class of 2026 every success as they begin their HSC Examinations this morning.
We invite our College community to keep Year 12 in their prayers over the coming weeks, sharing this prayer offered by our Principal, Mr Hanratty, yesterday.
Loving God,
As we begin Term Four, we ask for Your blessing upon our Year 12 students as they commence their final examinations.
Grant them calm minds, confident hearts and the wisdom to draw upon all they have learnt. May they know that they are supported by their teachers, families and our College community, and may they approach this final stage of their schooling with courage and hope.
We ask this in Your name.
Amen.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL | Every girl deserves the opportunity to discover her strengths, find her voice and imagine a future full of possibility.
International Day of the Girl celebrates the potential of girls and young women everywhere, while drawing attention to the barriers that continue to prevent millions of girls from accessing education, equality and opportunity.
Education has the power to transform lives. When girls are supported to learn, question, lead and pursue their ambitions, the benefits extend beyond the individual to families, communities and future generations.
At the College, we are privileged to see this potential realised every day. As a girls' school, we are committed to creating an environment where young women are known, encouraged and challenged to grow, developing the confidence, compassion and capabilities to make a meaningful contribution to the world.
We celebrate the voices, achievements and possibilities of girls everywhere, and reaffirm our commitment to a future in which every girl has the opportunity to learn and flourish.

GIRLS' EDUCATION | How can we continue to create learning environments in which girls flourish?
Dean of Mission, Mrs Kerry Bailey, and Dean of Cocurricular, Mrs Christina He, attended the International Coalition of Girls' Schools (ICGS) Education Girls Symposium in Auckland, New Zealand over the holidays. Centred on the theme 'Rethinking Girls' Education: Learning, Wellbeing and Technology', the symposium brought together educators and school leaders to explore research, share expertise and consider emerging approaches to girls' education.
Reflecting on the experience, Mrs Bailey highlighted the value of connecting with teachers and leaders who share a commitment to girls' education, and the opportunities these professional networks provide for ongoing learning and reflection.
Engaging with research and the experiences of educators beyond our own community helps us continue to strengthen our practice and create environments in which every Bennies student can learn, thrive and realise her potential.

CLASS OF 2026 | Yesterday, we celebrated the Class of 2026 as their years as students of Mount St Benedict College came to a close.
Graduation Day brought students, families and staff together for a joyful celebration of this remarkable cohort, giving thanks for all they have contributed to the life of the College and recognising the learning, friendships and experiences that have shaped their years at Bennies.
Two special College traditions marked the day. At the conclusion of Mass, students formed a circle around the perimeter of the Hall for the Candle Ceremony, holding candles lit from their House candle. The light symbolises the faith and learning nurtured during their time at the College, which they now carry with them beyond Bennies.
At the conclusion of the Graduation Assembly, the Class of 2026 walked through a Guard of Honour formed by staff and students, from the College Hall to the Rose Garden. Once Year 12 and their families had gathered, The 2026 College Captains Imogen, Nehansa and Sophie rang the Convent bell, symbolically bringing their cohort’s journey as Bennies students to an end.
There was plenty of joy, pride and a few tears as we farewelled Year 12 and celebrated all that this moment represents.
Congratulations, Class of 2026. May you carry all that you have learned, experienced and become at Bennies with you as you step beyond the Red Brick Wall.
