Canteen Closure - Monday 29th July

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,

I am writing to inform you that the canteen will be closed all day on Monday 29th July.

This is to allow the canteen staff to attend a funeral. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Minack, Principal

Official Opening - Marshall Podbury Building 2nd August 2019

Canteen Menus - Term 3

ALLERGIES: Please note that we are not a nut-free school and the canteen often uses nuts in their dishes. In addition, while gluten free options are sometimes provided, the canteen make doughs in the kitchen area therefore flour is often in the air and therefore no item can be deemed 100% gluten free.

Info - Consent for Events

Any event (excursion or sports day) that a student is involved in requires online parental consent through Compass.

There are a number of sports days approaching and all students involved need consent for them to be able to leave the school grounds and attend the day.

Email reminders are sent to all parents of those students involved and your assistance with providing consent is greatly appreciated.

It is your child that misses out if consent is not received.

Young Carers

A Young Carers program facilitated by Little Dreamers is meeting at lunchtime today in N205. If you identify as a person caring for a parent or sibling with a chronic illness, mental illness, disability or drug/alcohol addiction come along and see how you can be supported during this time.

Little Dreamers is a non-for-profit organisation founded by BSC alumni Maddie Buchner; Little Dreamers aims to create a community where every Young Carer feels supported, valued and empowered through short term and long term programs. 

Medical Authority Forms

The DET compliant College Medication Authority Form can be found on Compass under School documents – College information - First Aid. This form must be filled in, signed and returned with any medication that Parents wish First Aid to provide to their student (child), including Panadol (Paracetamol).

The College is no longer authorised to provides Paracetamol and this must be provided by parents for their student individually along with the Medical Authority Form.
