Guests will soon receive a reminder and details about car parking for our Mother's Day Morning event.

The Finian Foundation Appeal 2024  

Friday 14 June, 12pm 

Mark your calendars for this important date that will bear witness to our College Community's celebrated generosity and endeavour. The Finian Foundation Appeal hopes to raise $50,000 in 24hrs to provide vital education assistance grants to current College families in urgent financial need.  

 

Donations are the lifeblood of our cause, fuelling our ability to make a tangible difference in the lives of our students and their families. With every contribution you're giving hope, opportunity, and a brighter future to those who need it most.

 

The Finian Foundation is built on the belief that our power comes from our community. We're on a mission to uplift a significant number of St Bede's College families facing extremely tough economic hardship, and we need your support to make it happen! 

 

Established in 2005 in honour of Brother Finian Allman who dedicated more than 50 years of his life to the cause, these grants are given to worthwhile applicants from diverse backgrounds. Last year we had our largest number of applications ever, with 57 families in desperate need of support to get their sons through school.

 

With generous donations from our community, The Finian Foundation provided assistance to 17 of these families in 2023. Our student recipients have sent heartfelt messages to the Community for your support. 

 

"Anything that makes Mum happier and supports her throughout the loss of Dad is a great help. I am very proud to call myself a Beda Boy, and I will not take this generosity lightly."

"The grant has made a significant impact on my life, allowing me to attend school without stress."

"I thank God that there are people out there who can help my family and my mum. Thanks so much."

"This scholarship will help me continue to achieve and encourage my curious mind to always strive for excellence."

You can donate here now  via Charidy.

Celebration of the Generations 

In September, we're celebrating the second, third, or even fourth generations of families who have graced the halls of St Bede’s College. It's a testament to the enduring spirit of excellence and tradition that runs deep within our institution.

 

We're thrilled to share that over 50 of our 2024 Year 7 students belong to families with such cherished legacies. 

Invitations for this special breakfast event are making their way to your inbox in coming weeks. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you.
