We are pleased to share that St Bede’s has received its staffing allocation for 2026, allowing us to move forward with planning for next year.

In 2026, we will welcome two Kindergarten classes, and our current Year 1 cohort will be formed into two Year 2 classes. We are also pleased to confirm that we will have two classes at each year level from Kindergarten through to Year 5. Year 6 will remain as a single class in 2026.

This structural change marks an important step towards establishing a consistent two-stream model at St Bede’s. It enables us to maintain slightly smaller than normal class sizes where possible, support student wellbeing, and deliver high quality teaching and learning experiences across all year levels.

It also means that we will welcome a number of new teachers in 2026. Please pray for our school and those involved as we undertake the recruitment process.
