All students should now be in full winter uniform.
At St Bede's we are very proud of our students uniform, it is what identifies us within the community of Braidwood, and it is important that the uniform is worn correctly. This includes all students wearing ties, black shoes, hats or navy/black beanies, long sleeved shirts, blue trousers or tunic. Students wearing the winter tunic should be wearing navy blue tights. Winter jackets need to be navy blue. There should be no variation on the school's uniform - the uniform policy can be downloaded via the attached link or copies of the uniform policy can be found in the school office.
Also a reminder that all uniform items should have your child's name, this make it easier to return lost items to the correct owner.

St Bede’s Feast Day
The Feast Day of our school saint – St Bede – is recognised on the 25th May. The school will celebrate St Bede’s Feast Day with a prayer liturgy on Thursday 22 May. This will be held at the St Bede’s Church at 10:15am. Each year, a student from each year level receives a ‘St Bede’s Award’. This award recognises students who demonstrate Christian leadership and dedication to their studies – much like St Bede did. The awards will be presented at our St Bede’s Feast Day Liturgy. Stay tuned for more information!
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.
From the School Counsellor
Important information about how to access School Counselling.
Please feel free to touch base with any questions or concerns relating to the counselling service.
How to make an appointment.
If your child/ren were seen by the school counsellor in previous years and you would like them to receive support in 2025, 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

I am at St. Bede’s on Wednesdays each week.

Change to Afternoon Departures
The school holds all of the students school Departure agreements for 2025 in the office. These were completed by parents at the beginning of the year. These agreements are referred to if your child is unsure of how they are getting home.
With this in mind we ask parents that if there is a change to the way your child will be going home either, a one-off change or permanent, please notify the school office, either by phone or email before 2:30 pm. After this time it becomes increasing difficult to ensure that your child receives the message. If there is any confusion about your child's departure arrangement of an afternoon, then as a duty of care your child will remain at school and parents will be contacted to collect their child.
At St Bede's canteen is run every 2nd Monday. 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.
