20 Year Reunion - Class of 2003

It’s always great fun hosting a 20-year reunion, and welcoming back the Class of 2003 was no exception! 

 

The evening was filled with lots of familiar faces, big smiles, lots of laughter, canapes and drinks, a slide show of old journal photos, and a tour of the school, followed by drinks at the Mentone RSL. 

 

We loved hearing the stories from our Old Collegians about their friends, their teachers, the classes they loved (and maybe didn’t love as much!) and all the cheeky ways they managed to get in and out of trouble. 

 

Whether it’s the first time our Old Collegians have been back on campus since graduating, or their sons or grandsons are St Bede’s College students, it’s always our pleasure to host our community here at St Bede’s.

2023 Finian Foundation Appeal - BeDa Difference

The Finian Foundation is a registered charity with a proud history of providing financial aid to St Bede’s College families who are undergoing significant economic hardship.

 

This year’s Finian Foundation Appeal is called BeDa Difference

As the Beda Community, we’ve come together on many occasions over the last 85 years to help those in need. 

 

This year, our aim is to raise $55,000 to help more than 20 families within our Community. With the cost of living at increasingly high rates, plus mortgage and rental stress, we’ve seen a significant increase in grant applications for the Finian Foundation. 

These grants provide financial relief to St Bede’s families in urgent need towards school fees, uniforms, laptops, travel to and from School, excursions, musical equipment, specialist tutoring and other education related expenses.

 

Your donation will make a big difference to the lives of these families, especially our Students. To make a donation, please click here.
