From the  Principal 

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week has flown by I have you've had a great week!

Our week here at St Bede's started off beautifully with another awesome assembly on Monday afternoon. Every time we go to assembly our students are really demonstrating their engagement and ability to follow our strict protocols about being an active and respectful listener. This week the school choir performed a Disney tune they had recently performed for local kindergarten students and their voices were angelic!!

On Wednesday as I'm sure you have heard from your children by now, we had an exciting extra assembly when 7 players from the Richmond Football Club came to St Bede's. The players spoke to the students about their favorite sports growing up, who their sporting idols were and importantly how important it is not to give up on your dreams! They also answered some 'hard hitting' questions from the audience! The players were:

Steely Green, Jacob Hopper, Sam Lalor, Hugo Ralphsmith, Luke Trainor, Seth Campbell and Mykelti Lefau.

Marcellin Taster Day

Last Friday Mr O'Conchuir and Mr McFarlane took our Year 5 students (girls and boys) for a day at Marcellin College called Marcellin 'Taster Day'.

It was an opportunity for our Year 5 students to experience a day in the life of a high schooler. With many thanks to Marcellin College our students all had a wonderful day.

3/4 Camp

Year 3/4 Parents please  note the meeting about camp is in the Jarrow Room next Wednesday the 25th of June at 3.30pm.

Parent -Teacher Interviews

Please note our Parent Teacher Interviews are in the last week of this term and students finish school on Thursday the 3rd of July at 3.15pm. This week you should have received an email with the links required to book in your interview times.

Academic Competitions

Parents please note. Entries for all academic competitions this year close on the last Tuesday of this term (Tuesday 1st of July). Late entries will not be accepted.

Morning arrivals

Just a reminder that the gates open at 8.20am of a morning and children  are directed out to the back playground for a play (where there is a staff member on duty) until teachers open their classroom doors at 8.30am.

Running Club

As the weather gets a bit colder and wetter, we still encourage as many students to join us at our running club. It makes for a fantastic way to begin the school day. Our running club will continue on Friday mornings 8am at Myrtle Park. Please email Mr Price if you need any further details. NOTE: an email will be sent out in the event running club is cancelled due to the weather.

PREP Enrolments - the time to enrol is now!

Prep enrolments are continuing to come in and we are currently organising enrolment interviews.

If you know of someone who is yet to enrol their child please encourage them to do so ASAP. 

Assemblies

We would love more parents to come along and enjoy our school assemblies with us! A reminder, they are now held on a Monday afternoon at 2.30pm in the school hall. The last assembly for this term is on Monday the 30th of June at 2.30pm. 

Wishing you all a restful weekend- stay warm!.
