College Matters

Year 12 Drivers

Students wishing to drive to school must be registered with Mr Jones.

While Year 12 students are permitted to drive to and from school, this privilege does not extend to them leaving the College property during the school day. They are not permitted to drive off campus for lunch or during study periods.

It is a college rule that NO passengers, other than a younger brother, be in the car with the driver.

Students are NOT permitted to drive or park on the St. Bede’s College Property.

The College has negotiated the use of the Mentone RSL carpark for students by a special arrangement. We do not own this property and the Mentone RSL is doing us a huge favour by allowing us to park there.

Any student wishing to park on the Mentone RSL property simply needs to see Mr Jones to obtain a car park pass.

Three rules for parking at the Mentone 

RSL: 

1. Please do not leave rubbish in the                 carpark and act with respect to the               property and members.

2. Please do not drive in a dangerous               manner or above 20 km per hour.

3. Please park in the spaces along the               fence line and do not park in the island       section close to the entrance as RSL             members use this section.

Recently we received a call from the RSL regarding a student or students ‘hanging out’ in the carpark leaving rubbish on the grounds. There have also been reports of dangerous or ‘hoon’ driving. This is seen by the RSL as generally disrespectful and quite rightly they have asked us to address this. A continuation of this will place our arrangement in jeopardy.

The rules regarding student drivers are not open for discussion. We expect that they are followed. Please understand that in the interests of safety for all members of the St. Bede’s community and the wider local community they must be adhered to.
