Men of Faith and Leadership
It is a privilege for us to walk alongside our young men on their respective faith journeys.
Our Marist Values
St Bede’s College has supported generations of young men for more than 100 years, helping them grow into men of faith, character, and service.
We take pride in developing Catholic leaders of the future within our Marist tradition. Our Religious Education and Centre of Faith and Leadership programmes support and celebrate each student’s faith journey, guiding and inspiring them to live their faith daily.
The hallmarks of a Marist education—mercy, compassion, availability, and hospitality—are woven into every aspect of school life. These values are lived out through a genuine spirit of kindness, and respect for others, fostering a welcoming and inclusive community where every individual feels valued and supported.
Community
Liturgical Life
Faith is at the heart of St Bede’s.
Our liturgical programme provides students and the wider community with opportunities to celebrate their Catholic faith through regular Masses, prayer, and sacred traditions.
Faith formation and sacramental programmes are available to support students wherever they are on their journey.
Encounter
Our encounter programmes provide our community opportunities to deepen their understanding of God’s presence in our lives, relationships and the world around us.
One way we do this is though our Encounter Weeks which have themes of; leadership of self and others, prayer life, and service and social justice. Additional encounter experiences include class chapel time, adoration, Benediction and Mass, as well as interactions in daily life.
Leadership
Leadership opportunities are provided across all levels of college life – whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or through faith-based leadership. We create an environment where students are supported to lead and learn about themselves while they develop into leaders of our wider community.
Our Student Leaders foster the Catholic spirit in our college and strive to make it a better place for those who follow them while embedding the traditions and values of those who have been before. The stewardship of our Marist heritage and charism is nurtured and supported by the National Young Marist Team.
Service and Social Justice
Service is central to a Marist education. Through all aspects of the college our young men’s talents are fostered and developed to encourage lifelong service to others.
As well as daily teaching and reinforcement within our learning environment, our students are active in the wider community through a range of social justice and service projects that make a difference to the lives of others.
Student contribute through;
- Outreach initiatives
