As Week 7 comes to a close and we begin our long weekend, Term 2 is quickly wrapping up. Students and teachers are very busy collating data, completing summative assessment and writing reports.
Semester One reports will be available online through the Compass Parent Portal on Friday 30 June. To access the reports through the Compass App, you will need to ‘Open in Browser’ and then ‘View Academic Reports’ on your child’s dashboard.
Parents have been invited to attend Parent-Teacher Interviews in Week 9, 19-22 June, to discuss student progress and achievement. Parents with students on a Personalised Plan have also had the opportunity to meet with teachers during Week 7. Therefore, comments will not be included on the Semester 1 Report. Report comments for Semester One have been removed by Catholic Education for all schools in our diocese but they will be available on the Semester 2 Report.
Students who have recently enrolled at St Bede’s will not receive a formal report due to limited assessment across a range of subject areas. New students will instead receive a letter from classroom teachers with a general comment about their child’s transition to St Bede’s.
If your child will be leaving St Bede’s at the end of this year, it is important to download your child’s report for future reference. Once students are no longer enrolled at St Bede’s, you will be unable to access Compass and your child’s reports. It is a good habit to download each semester as we go.
Teachers look forward to the opportunity to celebrate student achievements through conversation and formal feedback. If you wish to discuss your child’s report with your teacher, please make contact early in Term 3.

Greetings from the St Bede’s P&F!
We had a very productive P&F meeting in Week 5 with plans for a winter disco, the annual St Bede’s Gala dinner and some parent merchandise all in the works.
Our tuckshop continues to be very popular with Sarah and her team pumping out on average of 170 lunch orders every Friday!!
We are always looking for extra help in the Tuckshop. If you are keen to help, there is a QR code below which will allow you to join the Tuckshop volunteer group.
Due to the large number of orders, the tuckshop will be unable to operate without volunteers! Plus, the kids love seeing their parents in the tuckshop!
The uniform shop has been incredibly busy with the change of uniform. Many items are still on backorder due to an unprecedented amount of ordering across NSW due to the government school vouchers. We are getting these items out as soon as they come in and we appreciate your patience. The items on backorder include skivvies, most items in a size 16 and winter coats.
If you have ordered anything else, please email us at uniform.stbedes@gmail.com and we will check our backorder list.
Gardeners needed!
Are you a garden guru? We have received a grant from the ACT Government to create a St Bede’s Community Garden outside the hall as a space to gather after assemblies and masses in the hall. We are looking for a team of volunteers to establish a “Garden Committee” to get this project off the ground. We need help with design, selection of plants for the area, construction etc. If you are keen, please contact the front office and we will get information out to you. This project needs to be completed before the end of the year, so it’s not a long-term commitment!
Parent volunteers play a key role in making St Bede’s awesome, with the disco and Gala coming up in Term 3 (which are both parent-led) if you have any capacity to help, please join the volunteers WhatsApp group below!
Thanks to all our families who continue to make St Bede’s the best little school in Canberra!

P&F President on behalf of the St Bede’s P&F
