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.

If your child arrives at school after 8:55 am, a parent or responsible adult MUST sign the student in at the school office.
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.

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.

Years 5 and 6 for 2026 are currently fundraising for their Camp early next year. Please consider supporting this worthy cause.
