The P&F are excited to announce that the St Bede's Tuckshop will reopen in 2024! Tess Green (Mum to Maddie & Chloe) will be taking over the manager position in the tuckshop operating from Friday 2nd February 2024 (Week 1).

The tuckshop will continue to operate on a Friday with a slightly reduced menu and the cut-off for orders will remain at 5pm Thursday.  Due to the large number of orders, this deadline remains non-negotiable. You will need to pack lunck for your child if you miss the deadline. 

All orders will remain non-transferable to future weeks and non-refundable after the 5pm Thursday deadline. If your child is sick on a Friday, you can notify the front office and your order will be given to the staff room or it can be allocated to another student by notifying the front office.

New Volunteer Roster for Tuckshop

In 2024, the tuckshop will work with a new structured roster for volunteers. We are hoping this new system will allow plenty of notice to families who would like to help in the tuckshop and be a parent/carer/grandparent superstar for the day!

All volunteers will be required to have current Working with Vulnerable People card.  These are issued by the ACT Government and are free for volunteers.

You can apply for a WWVP card here:

Each class will be allocated one Friday per term where they will be responsible for providing two volunteers to assist in the tuckshop.

Below is a link to sign up genius for Term 1 2024 Tuckshop Volunteers. If you are interested, please enter your name and contact number into the document next to your child's class.  

We understand that some of the classes haven’t been announced yet. You will find out which class your child will be in very soon.

Tuckshop: St Bede's Tuckshop Term 1, 2024 (signupgenius.com)

We are very excited that our much loved tuckshop will continue to operate. Our new manager Tess has a background in nutrition. On behalf of the P&F, thank you to Tess for taking on this important role in our school community!

If you have any queries, please email parents.stbedes@gmail.com or speak to the front office.

Chat to your child about:

1) Discuss how often you intend lunch orders to feature for your family.

2) Discuss that not all children order lunch each week (some people may not have a lunch order, others will).

3) Eating food quickly at lunch time (preschools and day care allow longer for lunch).
