First Day

The first day will be identical to each week of Kindy-Set-Go. Parents will deliver students to the classroom. Students and parents are very used to this routine.

*Note: All other days - students will be delivered to the playground where they will place their bags in their class line and play prior to the morning bell.

Lunch/Recess

Students have been very competent with opening their lunch boxes and other lunch items. You can help by encouraging your child to eat sandwiches or the main lunch item prior to snacks or treats. Also children are encouraged to eat fruit prior to snacks, etc.

Weekly Memo/Newsletter

Each weeks the school will email a school newsletter. The Family Memo is a part of this newsletter and outlines the events of the following week. It also informs parents of what uniform student should wear each day.

Compass Parent Portal

In 2023 and 2024 parents will receive an email invitation to download the Compass App. St Bede's uses the app for most communication with parents. This app is also used to notify of student absences, book parent teachers conferences, give permission for school excursions and access your child's school reports each semester. It also serves as a message board for the school.

Stationery and Book packs

St Bede's Primary School provides all books and stationery for students. Parents are not required to purchase any items for students.
