Final Day
VINNIES BRAIDWOOD GIVING TREE
Every year in the lead up to Christmas, we collect donations of gifts and non-perishable food for the Vinnies Braidwood Giving Tree.
These donations are provided to children, individuals and families in our local community that need a hand up.
Vinnies Braidwood has seen an increase for support over the last 12 months, and we want to make sure that anyone needing support over Christmas, and people do not have to make the choice of providing food or a gift. We want them to have both.
Donations towards the hampers can be left in the school office under the tree.
Some suggestions are below:
Community Council - expressions of Interest
We have two positions vacant on our Community Council for 2024, a secretary and a parent representative. If you are interested in either of these positions, please submit an expression of interest to office.stbedesb@cg.catholic.edu.au Friday, November 24, 2024.
Children's Absences and Reports
Semester 2 reports will be published to Compass on 11 December, if you do not have a Compass login please contact the office via email for your details. We are unable to send paper copies home.
If you have recieved an email from the school because your child has been absent you are able to explain this absence through the Compass portal. There is no need to phone or email the school after doing the Compass notification.
- Any children that are late to school, (after the morning bell) the parents need to sign the children in at the office.
- Please keep an eye on our FaceBook page for he latest happenings around the school. St Bede's FaceBook page
- Unwell Students (Cough, runny nose, fever etc.) should be kept at home, to help prevent the spread of illness through the school. The school has a small supply of RATs should any families require some, please contact the office.
- Please keep contact details up to date, if your address has changed email the office. Compass can be used to change email and phone details. If these details aren't kept up to date it makes it very difficult for staff to contact parents in an emergency.
Our School Counsellor, Mari, will be visiting St Bede's on Fridays for the rest of this year. If you think your child would benefit from seeing a counsellor please complete the online referral form at https://catholiccare.force.com/housing/s/school-referral-form.
Mari's last day for 2023 will be Friday 8 December
Parents please note that St Bede's is a Nut Free school and as such the sharing of any food, lollies or confectionery is not encouraged, as we have several students that have severe reactions. Therefore Nutella, Peanut Butter and any other nut butters are strongly discouraged.
For canteen to run at St Bede's we need at least two parent helpers for each week on the roster. If we do not have two volunteers then we are unable to have canteen and it will be cancelled for that week. Please refer to the below roster.
If canteen is cancelled then your child will need to bring their own lunch, as per a non canteen day. Please note that if canteen is cancelled and your child has an order, parents/carers will be contacted to provide lunch.
Any parents that are available to help canteen and have a couple of hours available on a Monday morning (Please see the roster for coming dates) please email the office.
If you have any questions about what is required to help on canteen please contact Brenda on 0438 275 032 or Trish on 0412 889507 or 02 48422027.
Please note that any parents volunteering for canteen must have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC). WWCC can be applied for through Service NSW (link) applying for a WWCC. Once you have received the clearance please send a copy of the email + your date of birth to the office as the clearances are checked.
