Last Thursday, we held our Term 3 Careers Breakfast, with a spotlight on The Business World! The group of parents, students and teachers who attended were certainly treated to some of the year's most incredibly inspiring stories from 4 of our Bede Polding College Alumni students. We listened to stories from: ⭐ Aprille - who became a Corporate Lawyer, practiced for 14 years, before starting her own highly successful, and now global business called 'Seaquatix'; she is now a CEO, a Corporate Lawyer and works in PR. ⭐ Michael - commenced an IT Traineeship with Catholic Education, Parramatta Office, has worked with a variety of organisations and is now an IT Desktop Support Officer at Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District. ⭐ Naomi - after completing VET Hospitality and an EVET Course in Commercial Cookery at school, she went on to further study and work with a huge list of hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs in events management before starting her highly successful Hawkesbury business called 'The Cookie Cart and Co' ⭐ Jessica - started studying communications at University, then left and went to a private College before working for a couple of large publishing organisations such as Mamamia, starting out as a Content Editor, moving up to Writer and Editor and now works as a Senior Project Coordinator at WSU. 👏👏👏 Once again, we would like to thank all of our guests for donating their time and sharing their stories with our community - our students will benefit greatly from your advice and we are so grateful for your input! Our Careers Breakfasts will recommence in Term 1 next year - we have some amazing and inspiring stories ready to share!

Last Wednesday, Year 10 participated in their Reflection Day. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn from international guest speaker, Sam Clear, and his experience of walking around the world to foster Christian unity, and to connect his story to their classroom learning. Fr Ranning from St Matthew's Windsor Parish celebrated Mass with us to conclude the Day. 🙏

Congratulations to the Intermediate Boys Basketball Team, who recently competed in the PDSSSC Gala Day. The team played tremendously only dropping one game in their pool to advance to the semifinals. Overall placing 4th - Bede’s best ever performance! 🏀

✈️ Gordon Wilberforce of Year 10 was recently given the opportunity to participate in a second work experience program at the RAAF Base in Richmond, having successfully completed a program earlier in the year at the RAAF Base in Williamtown. It was a wonderful opportunity for Gordon to experience life in the RAAF, and his decision to pursue his dream of becoming a pilot was reinforced over his three day experience in the Aviation Sector at the base. ✈️ Thank you to the team at the RAAF base for providing these opportunities for students to explore!

Our BPC Vinnies Winter Sleepout took place recently. This was an opportunity for our students and staff to raise awareness of the unfortunate issue of homelessness in our community. The evening included Lachlan, one of the Vinnies Richmond Conference members, sharing his experiences with the group, Ms Pickert sharing her experiences of Vinnies Van and Ms Wearne leading some fun icebreakers and some time around a campfire. There were also opportunities for prayer. Thank you also to those students and staff who were able to donate items to the Vinnies Richmond Conference throughout Weeks 4 & 5. They have been collected and will now assist those who are doing it tough in the Hawkesbury. If you would still like to contribute, please go to the Vinnies option on the QKR app and make a donation of your choice. Thank you for your support! "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." - Mt 25:40 🙏

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! On Friday morning we celebrated our Father's Day Mass in the Good Samaritan Hall, with Fr Shinto from St Monica's Richmond Parish. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to recognise the dedication, hard work and love that our fathers, grandfathers and father figures demonstrate to us on a daily basis. All fathers received a gift as well as a BBQ breakfast to begin their day. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion.

🙏 Earlier this week, some of our senior students, who are also St Monica's Primary School Alumni students, were invited to St Monica's Primary School to celebrate the Feast of St Monica. Fr Shinto celebrated Mass in the church, and then the students joined together to participate in a 'Then and Now' presentation, learning about the history of the school and St Monica herself. Our BPC students were also able to share some of their wonderful memories of their primary school days and play some OzTag with the primary students.

🌸 Last week we had the pleasure of hosting students from Aki Fuchu High School in Hiroshima. The Japanese students thoroughly enjoyed their immersion experience, following our talented Bede Polding Ambassadors to all their classes and experiencing life at Bede. 🌸 Thank you to the Bede community for hosting our visitors, including families who volunteered to provide homestays. Thank you also to our staff, many of whom had Japanese students join their lessons, for not only helping to make our guests feel welcome, but also including them as part of the class and so also helping our Bede students get a glimpse of what learning is like for other cultures and communities. 🌸 The Aki Fuchu staff and students expressed their gratitude for our community in making them feel welcome and also admired the strength of our G.E.M. classes, stating it is something that they feel can be introduced at their school.
