Prep & 1/2 Stay Late (Junior Team)
Last Friday, our Prep to Year 2 students enjoyed an extra long school day thanks to Stay Late.
It was an action packed afternoon and evening filled with activities, fun and friendship building, while catching a glimpse of the school and each other in a different light than can be gleaned on a regular day.
Fruit, cheese, crackers, pizza and icy poles were among the culinary delights on offer, providing fuel for what ensued. Students rotated through 3 ball soccer, drama games, beading and story time with Super Read. Mysteriously during these moments, Mr Read disappeared, only to return with no explanation for his whereabouts. Our very own Clark Kent, some suspect.
After the Prep and Year 1’s left, the Year 2 students enjoyed the remainder of the night with a movie accompanied by some special treats of popcorn & lollies before bunking down in sleeping bags in the classrooms for a sleepover. We're not too sure if there was much sleep though!
Middle School - Grandparents Day
Last week we held our first ever Middle School Grandparents and Special Persons Day!
It was such a pleasure to have so many visit - thank you, as it means so much to our students that you took the time to be here! Highlights included: yummy morning tea, the choir, the 'Grandparents Poem', Mr Callow's presentation, stunning picnic lunches and seeing visitors join in classes. We had Grandparents joining in boxing, painting, science experiments, drama games, music, robotics, board games and more! We LOVED seeing you give it a go, and watching our students host you so well.
A big thank you to all involved in this special day!
CSEN Eastern Region Athletics Carnival : Year 3-6
By Shaun Doherty ( Primary Sports Coordinator)
On Wednesday 11 September, 54 students across Years 3 to 6 travelled to Doncaster Athletics Track to compete in the CSEN Eastern Region Athletics Carnival. We were treated to a day of blue skies and glorious sunshine and there was such an energetic vibe from all of the schools competing.
The day kicked off with the 1500m event, the most gruelling of all events - especially for a nine year old! Countless field events such as the long, high and triple jumps, the discus and shot put, and the track events: 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m, before concluding with the 4 x 100m relays, which are always a lot of fun.
Our BHCS team were amazing and I can't praise them enough. Students were willing to step in and fill events, where injury or absence had left that event empty, even if it was something they weren't particularly strong in.
All students who came along and had a go should be extremely proud of their efforts. Some outstanding results are as follows:
Archer D: 1st place 1500m
Sophia G: 1st place 1500m, 1st place 800m (new record), 1st place shot put, 1st place high jump
Claire G: 1st place 100m (new record), 1st place 400m (new record), 1st place long jump (new record)
Lily H: 1st place 100m (new record), 200m 1st place
Bailey P: 1st place long jump (new record)
Byron M: 1st place shot put (new record)
Adam M: 1st place discus (new record)
Ahliya W: 1st place 800m (new record)
We also had three age-group champions, meaning they scored the most points out of every student in their age group, which is a phenomenal achievement. They were:
Under 9 Female Champion: Claire G
Under 10 Female Champion: Lily H
Under 11 Female Champion: Sophia G
Congratulations to all students and a big thank you to Mr Wanders, Ms Rule, Mr Kelly, Ms Douglass and Mr Cavalot for your help on the day.
