Benwerren is a place a woman can come to rest, reflect and find restoration. It’s a place where you can retreat from life’s pressures, stop, and breath. Benwerren serves and strengthens families by supporting women and children in need. Providing practical support in the form of ‘time out’ in a peaceful environment, whilst ministering to the physical, educational, emotional and spiritual well-being of women and children.
Launching Place Primary School

Donations can be conveniently dropped off at the school office foyer, and our team will arrange for the delivery to Benwerren on the 5th of December.
Your generous support will have a significant impact, and the Benwerren community is extremely grateful for the assistance provided by our school community.

Thank you for your continued support.
Remembrance Day
Every year, on 11 November at 11 am—the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month—we pause to remember those individuals who have served and those who have died in all wars and peacekeeping operations.
Remembrance Day marks the moment the guns fell silent on the Western Front at the end of the First World War—the first moment of peace in four years. Join us in the hope that the fragile peace hard won by generations past endures for generations to come.
Thunderstorm Asthma
Thunderstorm asthma can happen suddenly to people in spring or summer when there is a lot of pollen in the air and the weather is hot, dry, windy and stormy.
People with asthma and/or hay fever need extra protection to avoid thunderstorm asthma between September and January in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. This means using preventer medicine every day and always having a reliever inhaler (blue puffer) ready. See your doctor to get the best asthma and/or hay fever medication plan and provide this to Audrey in our front office.
Uniform Orders
The end of year will be upon us before we know it. I would like to invite you to place uniform orders in the next couple of weeks to ensure that the uniform arrives at the school before the end of term. Payment will need to be made on collection and you can collect before the end of term or the start of term next year.
