25.01.2022 Did you know your P&C has a private Facebook Group? Our private Facebook group is just that, a private place just for parents and carers to share, inform, discuss, learn and embrace our wonderful community of Benowa parents. We have a trading Tuesday where you can tout your own business or recommend a fantastic business, or do you have something school related to sell? Looking for something school related to buy? Then post away! The BENOWA SS PARENTS private Facebook Group ...is a secure place where the parents of the children attending Benowa State School can network, communicate, shout out, relate and help each other. While this Group is important for our School community, it is also important to us as parents to create and encourage our own community of parents supporting each other. Parents supporting parents is what it’s all about and this is the purpose of our Group. So jump on over to our Facebook group http://www.fb/groups/benowassparents and get connected.

25.01.2022 Dogs on the Green Market is on this weekend at Benowa State School! Bring your fur-babies and kiddos for a great morning out!

25.01.2022 9 August commemorates the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. It is celebrated around the world and marks the date of the inaugural session of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations at the United Nations in 1982. This year’s theme is COVID-19 and indigenous peoples’ resilience. The event will feature a panel discussion on the innovative ways indigenous peoples continue demonstrating resilience and strength in the face of the pandemic while confronting grave threats to their survival. The aim is to highlight how the preservation and promotion of indigenous peoples’ traditional knowledge and practices can be leveraged more fully during this pandemic and build back stronger.

Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe. Parents, carers, and educators are encouraged to start a conversation with children and young people about personal safety. ... The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in honour of Daniel Morcombe to make Australia a safer place for children. It was founded by parents Bruce and Denise after their son was abducted and murdered in December 2003 while waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. The aims of the Foundation are to educate children and young people about how to stay safe in physical and online environments and to support young victims of crime.
