Our first Open Day will take place on Wednesday March 22nd between 9am and 1pm. If you know of anyone who is interested in enrolling please let them know.  Flyers have been given to all Kinders in the area.

Sharing of Food

It is important to minimise the risk to students at St Bede's  who have allergies and anaphylactic reactions. All members of the school community need to be aware that students are not to swap or share food and can only eat food provided or approved by their parents/carer.

If a child has a birthday and they wish to celebrate only lemonade icy poles are allowed to be shared.

Footy starts tonight!!!!!

Enjoy your week
