Parent Teacher Interviews

A reminder that Parent Teacher Interviews will be held next week. These interviews form an important part of our Semester 1 reporting process.

Bookings must be made via the Compass Parent Portal by 2:00pm this Friday.

We encourage all families to attend, as interviews are a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and learning goals.

Unexplained Absences

A reminder that all student absences must be explained by parents or carers. Today, notifications were sent via Compass to families with outstanding absences.

Please update these absences via the Compass Parent Portal as soon as possible, as any unexplained absences will be recorded on student reports.

If you have any questions or need assistance with Compass, please do not hesitate to contact me (amy.doszpot@cg.catholic.edu.au).

Introducing the Friendology Program

Next term we will be introducing the Friendology Program by URSTRONG across all year levels. This evidence-based program is designed to empower students with the skills, language, and confidence to develop healthy friendships.

Through Friendology, students will learn how to:

• Build and maintain respectful relationships
• Manage conflict in kind and constructive ways
• Recognise the difference between healthy and unhealthy friendships
• Stand up for themselves and others
• Grow their empathy, confidence, and resilience

By teaching a common language around friendship, the program helps create a safer, more inclusive school environment where every child feels connected and supported.

On Tuesday we held a Parent Information Session on the introduction of the program. A big thank you to all who were able to join us! If you were unable to attend and would like more information, please reach out to me.

We look forward to working in partnership with families to strengthen friendship skills at St Bede’s.

Have a wonderful end to the week!
