It was wonderful to reconnect with our Sydney-based Bedeans during our recent trip to Australia for a conference.

Rector Jon McDowall, Director of Advancement Clare Wilkinson, and Deputy Rector Pastoral and Hauora Diarmuid McMahon, had the privilege of hosting old boys who attended St Bede’s from 1958 to 2017.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet all of you in person this year and witness the connections—and reconnections—among fellow Bedeans.

We look forward to catching up again in 2025!
