To our St Bede’s Community
As communicated last year, the college remains steadfast in its commitment to addressing historical abuse.
Our focus remains on supporting those impacted and fostering a safe, supportive environment for all members of our community—past, present, and future.
In light of this I have decided it is not the right time to hold the Boarding 100 celebration as originally planned. This decision has the support of the Chairs of the College Board of Proprietors and School Board.
Boarding has long been part of the heart of St Bede’s, and we look forward to celebrating this special part of our community at a later time.
For now, we encourage you to join us at the Old Boys’ Annual Dinner – 100th Anniversary, on August 9, where we will celebrate the rich history and enduring strength of our community.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support of the college. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns on communityoffice@stbedes.school.nz.
Yours sincerely
Jon McDowall
