From the Acting Principal 

Congratulations to our Grade 5/6 Girls Soccer Team

Exciting news! 

Congratulations to the girls soccer team for winning the state championship with a 2-1 victory yesterday afternoon! There are around 1600 schools that take part in this program and to finish state champions is an incredible effort. Well done for making history, we are incredibly proud of your achievement.  A big thank you to Jessica Martino for guiding them through the season and to the amazing parents who supported the team throughout the season and finals.

And finally, a very big thank you to Mr. Richard Price. Richard works tirelessly to ensure the students of St Bede's have many wonderful sporting opportunities. His dedication and commitment help make these experiences memorable and successful for our students. We truly appreciate all that he does for our school community.

Congratulations Liam

We are thrilled to announce that Liam has won the Jessica Wilson Public Speaking competition representing St Bede's. As part of his achievement, Liam had the privilege of giving a speech at parliament last Monday, alongside winners from other schools. This was a remarkable and memorable event for Liam, and we couldn't be prouder of his accomplishments.
