Hello students of Bethlehem College! To start off, the SRC team warmly welcomes all the students back to school, to a new year at our school. To the new students, especially the Year 7s, we hope that you are enjoying your time so far at Bethlehem.
This is the start of a new chapter in your life, where you will be spending the next 5 years filling your youth with happiness, together with the school community. We hope you are adapting well to your new school environment. We have all been through the pain, finding your way around the school, but a month from now, you will be able to memorise the roots around the school, the names of your teachers and knowing your classmates a little more.
Our SRC motto for this year is,
‘Through Hope We Flourish, Together We Prosper’.
During these difficult times of COVID-19 impacting our lives, we have not had many opportunities to bring the school community closer through activities and assemblies. However, we hope that we will be able to show off our ideas and plans for this year and make your 2021 more memorable and enjoyable.
As the leaders of this school, we are responsible for serving the school community, mentoring young leaders, being the role models, supporting staff and students, and hearing and voicing your concerns. We want you to provide the best for the students, that will improve your learning and time at school. We value your opinion.
We strive to maintain harmony among the school community and empower students to take on the opportunities around them, and continue to live up to the charism of the Sisters of Charity. We kindly ask for your support and understanding. We also strongly encourage every student to participate in extracurricular activities, to which you will benefit from by gaining new skills, getting involved in the school community and meeting new people and expanding your possibilities.
If you need any advice and help, please ask us, whether it is a student above your year group, an SRC leader or a teacher, we are very willing to help you out.
