Supporting Respectful Behaviour and Safety
Over recent weeks, we have noticed an increase in instances of inappropriate behaviour amongst our male students. In response, we have spoken with the boys to reinforce the importance of keeping their bodies private and treating themselves and others with respect. We emphasised that every child has the right to feel safe at all times and that behaviours which make others feel uncomfortable are not acceptable.
With the holiday break approaching, it’s a timely reminder for families to continue these conversations at home. We encourage parents and carers to talk with their children about respectful behaviour—in both social and online settings—and to supervise their use of digital platforms to ensure they are accessing age-appropriate content.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to nurture a safe and respectful environment for every student at St Bede’s.
Unexplained Absences
Yesterday, Compass notifications were sent regarding unexplained absences. If you received a notification, please ensure it is actioned before the end of term. Schools are legally required to receive notification from parents/carers for any absence from school. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries regarding absences.
Have you downloaded the Qkr! App yet? As of next term, lunch orders will need to be purchased through Qkr! Information on how to set up Qkr! can be accessed here.
I hope you enjoy the change of pace that holidays bring!
Kind regards,
Amy Doszpot
Assistant Principal
