functions, resolution of issues would suggest that the majority of parents, staff and students rate their level of satisfaction as high.
Parents continue to highlight a feeling of welcome, an atmosphere of care, the school’s clear Catholic identity and the fact that they
were encouraged to be actively involved in the life of the school as strengths. The staff feel that the school’s strengths were the
relationships between the teachers and students and among each other, the feeling of being valued and the atmosphere of care as
a feature of school life at St Benedict’s. Students highlight respecting others and their property is seen as important, the fact that
they understood why there were rules and out of bounds areas and that the school playground has someone there to go to for
assistance.
