St Bede's have accepted enrolment applications for all grades in 2022 and 2023. If there is someone that you know is looking to become a part of the St Bede's community, please ask them to make contact with the office.

Did you know that almost all of our enrolments come from parent referral? Thank you to all who refer and promote our wonderful school. We are still accepting mid year enrolments in all grades.

In Week 1 we said good bye to our quails as they returned to Mrs Hannah's farm to have a bright future with plenty of space and new friends. We will farewell our ducklings and chickens in Week 2 as they join the quails for the farming life.

A very special thank you to Mrs Hannah, Mrs Trow, Miss Mead and Mrs Horsburgh for taking such great care of our poultry. The staff and students enjoyed having these beautiful birds being a part of our schoool.

On Friday 22 July (Week 1) our system came together to celebrate NAIDOC Week with a mass at St Christopher's Cathedral (via streaming). We thank all families who participated in this online viewing. 

We look forward to returning to St Christopher's in 2023.
