Pick Up & Drop Off

If you are taking your son to and from school, we encourage you to arrange an appropriate location away from the immediate surrounding streets to alleviate any traffic congestion. 

At Mentone, we have received complaints from nearby residences regarding illegal parking across driveways and no standing areas. We ask that the traffic laws be followed and ensure respect for our neighbours. Please do not use the campus car parks or the Mentone RSL. Thank you for your understanding. 

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.  

College Canteen

At both Campuses, our College Canteen offers a great range of fresh, seasonal and convenient food at very good value.

From freshly made sandwiches and wraps, toasted croissants, classic meat pies and sausage rolls, to nachos or yoghurt and granola bowls, there’s lots to choose from. 

Thank you to our wonderful Canteen team and volunteers for their friendly service. 

Cash and card are both accepted.
