Our School Counsellor, Faith, will be visiting St Bede's on Wednesdays this year. Please see the below information regarding the service and how to make an appointment.

How to make an appointment.

If your child was seen by the school counsellor in previous years and you would like them to receive support in 2024, we require you to complete a new counselling registration form. The link can be found below. New referrals and requests can be made via the same link.

Parent consent for counselling continues to be required for all primary school students and will be sought and provided via email. Where parents are separated, we require the written consent of both parents. Once the referral has been received, I will contact parents on a Wednesday to further discuss the referral and determine whether school counselling can meet your child’s needs or if an external referral may be more appropriate.

Referrals can be submitted here https://mccg.my.site.com/housing/s/school-referral-form

St Bede's is a Nut Free school

St Bede's is a nut free school - This mean that students should not bring anything containing nuts to school, this includes Nutella, Peanut Butter and any other nut butters as we have several students who are highly allergic to these items.

The sharing of any food, lollies or confectionery is not encouraged.

• June and July are our No Hat months. 
• Students should now be in full winter uniform - please be mindful that winter jackets should be either navy or black - no other colours please.
• Parents please ensure that your child's clothing is labelled very clearly. Using a fabric pen works well. It is very hard to return clothing items to families if there is no name and we have an ever growing pile of lost clothes.

At St Bede's, canteen is run every 2nd Monday and the running of canteen is dependant on volunteers - we require at least 2 parent volunteers per canteen.

Please see the roster below - if you are able to help please contact Brenda, Trish or the office to have your name added.

If canteen is cancelled your child will need to bring their own lunch, as per a non canteen day. 

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. This is free for volunteers!
