Early Dismissal Days
In accordance with policies of Catholic Education Melbourne, St Bede’s College is committed to providing sufficient time and resources so that our teachers can continue to learn and provide the best possible learning environment for each student.
This year, our teachers will continue to dedicate fortnightly sessions to collaborative professional learning. This will occur on Day 8 of the College timetable, which falls every second Wednesday. On this day, students will be dismissed at 2pm. The Resource Centre will remain open for students to complete private study.
