- 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.
- Any child with hair that is to their shoulders or longer, need to have the hair tied back to prevent the spread of head lice.
- 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.
- Any children that are late to school, (after the morning bell) the parents need to sign the children in at the office.
- Changes to your child's normal departure arrangements needs to be notified to the office by either email (preferred) or phone before 2:30 pm.

As advised previously, we have moved onto a new finance system and the preferred method of payment is BPAY. Due to the new system our Biller Code and the Family Reference Numbers have changed, so please before making a BPAY payment check that you have the new numbers. (these are located on the bottom left corner of the statement). Statements will be automatically generated every month to your email.
Any questions or issues with payment of the fees, please contact the office email.
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 interested in helping in 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.
