91322 St Benet Winter Newsletter 2020

Who am I?
We began the year with Reignition, which was to reflect on and
explore the issue of identity and belonging after having spent a few
months in lockdown.
Students explored a variety of themes, such as, ‘who am I?’ where
they considered themselves as an individual, as a friend, as a part of
a society and as a role model. Our younger students created some
fantastic artwork which was both an expression and an exploration
of their own individual identity.
As part of the Drama session, students created a Public Service
Broadcast based on this statement: To build self-confidence, and to
not always be influenced by social media - you must stand strong
and have your own beliefs. The work produced blew us away with
the powerful messages communicated.
We looked at how we could strengthen the St Benet Biscop Way as
a community. This manifested itself in our very own St Benet Biscop
brick pathway, created by our year 10 students.
Ultimately, the sessions allowed us to appreciate the power of
community and the potential we all have when we unite together.
