Community
At St Bede’s, we recognise parents as the first and most important educators of their children. As partners in learning and faith, we work closely with families to support each child’s academic, social and spiritual growth. Through open communication, shared experiences of prayer and liturgy and opportunities for involvement in school life, parents are active participants in our community. Together, we nurture a strong sense of belonging and a shared commitment to helping every child grow in knowledge, confidence and faith.
We have many opportunities for parents to work in partnership with the school. We invite you to get involved in some of the following ways:

School Advisory Council
The St Bede’s and St Anne’s School Advisory Council (SAC) plays an important role in supporting the mission and life of the two schools in the parish. Working collaboratively with the principals of both schools and Parish Priest, the Council provides guidance on strategic direction, community engagement and the stewardship of resources to ensure the school remains faithful to its Catholic identity. As a vital link between the schools and St Theresa of Kolkata Parish (formerly the Amalgamated Parishes of St Bede’s and St Anne’s), the SAC helps strengthen the connection between parish and school, fostering a shared commitment to faith formation, service and community. Through this partnership, the SAC supports the mission of nurturing students to grow as people of faith, hope and love, actively living the Gospel in their daily lives.
Parents Association
Our Parents Association (PA) plays a vital role in building a strong, connected school community. Through fundraising, events and support for school initiatives, the group helps enrich opportunities for all students while fostering friendships among families. New members are always warmly welcomed, whether you can offer ideas, lend a hand at events or simply come along to meetings. Getting involved is a great way to meet other parents and make a positive difference in our school. We would love to see some new faces at our next meeting.
