News from the Community Council

As COVID restrictions have lifted, the Community Council were able to gather in person and hold an open meeting last night. Parents were able to attend the open meeting, to meet the Community Council, Principal and attending teachers and to discuss topics around the building refurbishment and parent events.

It was very pleasing to have such a strong roll up of parents and we would like to thank everyone that attended and participated in discussions. There were some very good discussions around the plans for building, parent engagement, and fundraising. We will keep you updated as we progress with suggestions from last night’s meeting.

The Community Council are very excited to announce that, through previous fund-raising events, we have been able to purchase a new commercial grade oven for the canteen! This will make canteen and any catering events much easier and more efficient. We are already planning and looking forward to a special canteen day to celebrate the first use of the new oven!

The Council are also looking forward to some great family participation events planned for this term, and being able to catch up with families, so please keep up to date on upcoming events in the newsletter.

As Community Council, Chair, I am more than happy for parents with any suggestions or looking to be more involved with St Bede’s to please contact me.

Thank you
