Celebrating International Women's Day
This Tuesday, more than 200 members of our St Bede's College Community gathered over a lovely light breakfast to joyfully commemorate International Women's Day.
We were ecstatic to see so many of our students, their parents and their teachers, as well as our extended community of Kilbreda College students and teachers, and esteemed local government representatives.
Our guest speaker, Ms Sumaya Harare, shared her journey as an immigrant to Australia, navigating challenges such as learning English and overcoming cultural adversities. Her story created reflective moments for everyone in attendance.
A heartfelt thanks to Kamila Kotowski, Parents and Friends President and to Tom Gregory, College Vice Captain as the event's MC. We extend our gratitude to everyone who attended.
The overall atmosphere was delightful, and a wonderful opportunity to witness the support of our students in the name of women across the world.
Welcome Picnic
In February, we hosted a great new event to warmly welcome new students and their families to our College. The Welcome Picnic saw over 400 attendees on a gorgeous summer's afternoon.
It was wonderful to see so many happy faces making new friends, introducing their families and making the most of the time together. We had lots of participation across activities including tug of war, tunnel ball and footy games, with live entertainment from the College bands.
We were thrilled for so many people to get involved, and look forward to even more engaging moments at next year's event.

40 Year Reunion
What a joy it was to welcome the Class of 1984 for their 40 year reunion last month!
With over 50 guests in attendance, the evening was a great success of sharing memories as though no time had passed. Guest Paul Hendricks (Class of 1984) summarised it perfectly.
"Thanks to all involved in organising the reunion. I thoroughly enjoyed it. On reflection, it was as if we had all just returned from the summer break, and it was business as usual catching up at lunchtime in the quadrangle about what we had been doing. Great to see Brother Bill and the other staff members who attended. Once again, thank you, and I look forward to the 50+ year reunion."
Thank you to everyone who attended. For more photos of the event, visit our gallery here.
