We are delighted to announce that Ms. Amanda Martin has been appointed as our new Deputy Principal! Amanda has been serving as Acting Deputy Principal this year while I have been in the role of Acting Principal. She brings a wealth of experience, dedication, and passion to this position.

Advent Services at St. Bede’s

As we approach the season of Advent—a time of waiting and preparation—we are excited to begin our Advent Liturgies. These special liturgies will be led by our students and focus on the Jesse Tree, or Jesus' family tree, teaching about the significant figures who came before Jesus and helped prepare the way for him. Each week, a different year level will lead our community in reflection and celebration.

Advent Liturgy Schedule:

  • Advent Liturgy 1 – 25 November, led by Grade 5/6
  • Advent Liturgy 2 – 2 December, led by Grade 3/4
  • Advent Liturgy 3 – 9 December, led by Grade 1/2
  • Advent Liturgy 4 – 16 December, led by the Preps

These liturgies will be held each Monday at 9am in the church. 

 

 We look forward to celebrating this meaningful season of our Catholic faith together as a community.

 

St Bede’s Christmas Carols

We are excited to announce one of our most cherished Catholic traditions—St Bede’s Christmas Carols! This wonderful community event brings us together to celebrate the joy of the season. Families are welcome to bring a picnic or enjoy delicious options from the woodfired pizza food truck.

 

Please note, we kindly ask that families refrain from feeding the children until after the performance, as this can be disruptive while they are gathered at the front.

 

During this special evening, the children will tell the story of Jesus' birth through carols, and they will also perform some secular Christmas favorites.

 

Venue: Amphitheatre

Date: Monday, 16th December

Time: 6:00 pm

We look forward to celebrating this beautiful tradition with you!

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Regards,

Larissa

Acting Principal
