Unwell Students (Cough, runny nose, fever,vomiting,diarrhoea etc.) If your child is unwell please keep them at home. If your child has vomited the night before, please keep them at home, even if you think they are okay. The NSW Health guidelines suggest that students who have vomited and or diarrhoea should be kept at home for 48 hours to help prevent the spread of illness through the school. Please see the guideline from NSW Health regarding vomiting.

We appreciate your co-operation in this matter.

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.

We are currently in the process of conducting interviews for Kinder 2026.

If you have a Kinder child turning 5 by July 31, 2026 and are considering sending them to St Bede's, or you know of a family that is interested in enrolling at St Bede's, please either contact the office for more information OR lodge an online application as soon as possible to ensure a position in Kinder.

If you are coming into the school outside of drop off and pick up times you are required to report to the office and sign in. It is important that we have a record of all visitors to the school.

Please be mindful of what containers you send to school with your child. Please do not send ring pull cans (like the lids on small tuna cans etc.) or glass containers as these present a cutting hazard to children. Please open the can at home and place in a plastic container.

We would ask that soft drinks are not sent to school with your children as we do try to encourage a healthy alternative like water.
If your child is unwell, please place their absence through the Compass Parent Portal App. There is no need to then notify the office once you have placed it into the Compass app.

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