The annual Polding Walk proved to be another huge success this year as the school community came out in force to celebrate and support Bede Polding Day and annual our fundraiser.
Raising close to $50,000, the funds will be used to buy a new 12 seater mini bus for the school. The day began with the judging of the fancy dress competition which included a number of superheroes, pixies, fairies, clowns, pirates, movie stars and much more! Following the walk, students returned to find the school had transformed into a carnival with rides, music and even a Battle of the Bands competition.
With great support from parents, business sponsors and the NSW Police, the Polding Walk was a fun day for all and showcased the wonderful community spirit at Bede Polding College.

πβ¨ Exploring the Future! β¨π On Wednesday, our Year 10 students attended the Greater Western Sydney Careers Market β and what an inspiring day it was! Students had the chance to connect with representatives from universities, TAFE, colleges, apprenticeship providers, the Defence Force, employers, and more. From hands-on advice to eye-opening conversations, it was a fantastic opportunity to explore the many pathways available after school. ππβοΈ A special highlight was catching up with Zoe, a former BPC student, whoβs now kickstarting her career with an Electrical Apprenticeship at Endeavour Energy. We're so proud to see our alumni thriving! β‘π It was amazing to see our students so engaged, asking great questions, and dreaming big about whatβs next.
