Just a reminder to families of students making Reconciliation, that there will be a family information session on Wednesday 10 August at 3.45pm in the hall.

One family member with the participating student should attend the session please.

Currently we are unable to organise some excursions for students. These restrictions are expected to remain in place for Term 3 only.

At this stage, preparation continues for the Year 5&6 excursion to Berry departing Wednesday 12 October, returning on Friday 14 October (2 nights). More information will be distributed on Monday 8 August. Please be aware that this excursion may need to be cancelled or postponed with short notice.

Preparation also continues for the Year 4 excursion to Birrigai on Monday 17 October returning on Tuesday 18 October (1 night). More information will be provided on Monday 8 August. Please be aware that this excursion may need to be cancelled or postponed with short notice.

If you login to Qkr! you will notice that you are unable to select Friday 12 August as a date to order lunch for your child/ren.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to offer our usual diverse and delicious menu on that day so as a precaution we have closed that day for ordering.  We expect to offer a special lunch on that day but will advise further when details come to hand.  Please watch Compass for updates.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

On Monday, students and staff at St Bede's celebrated Bastille Day.  There was a lot of red, white and blue on show and everyone enjoyed a croissant.  Many thanks to Madame Sood for organising this very special day.

There has been a little confusion in relation to the delivery date of uniforms ordered via the Qkr! app. Please note that uniforms will not be distributed on the day of order.

Uniforms are delivered some time in the next week after the order has been placed. This allows time for Zoe to come in and prepare the orders. 

To assist in ensuring a smooth process and any confusion, we have updated the Qkr! app.  You will notice when you login to make an order, you will no longer select a date for delivery.  Instead you will get the message:

ORDERS WILL BE DELIVERED TO CHILD'S CLASSROOM WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OF ORDER BEING PLACED

You will then be able to select the items you wish to purchase. 

Please remember the boutique and snack shack are manned by volunteers who kindly give up their time to provide an income stream for the P&F. Without volunteers, service would be impacted significantly. Please treat them with kindness and respect at all times.
