Alumni Program 

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm for their support of our recently launched Alumni Program. Their generous support has enabled us to enlist the services of Ourschool to help establish the program.

We would also like to thank all the alumni who have come on board throughout the year as without them we wouldn't have a program. We look forward to the benefits this program will bring to our students, school and the community in the coming years.

Donations Please

BSC would appreciate donations of old fish tanks for the school Science department as we are currently in short supply. Any size will do and donations can be left at the front office. 

Staff Interviews

Recently, our Year 11 Business Management students had the task of interviewing staff members who applied for 'positions vacant', that had been created specifically for the purpose. Students were required to create the positions, short list applicants and conduct interviews. The positions available were that of a children's entertainer and a beautician/nail technician.

Several teachers applied for the roles, dressing to impress, in the hope of improving their chances at success. One of the successful applicants on the day was Ms Kerr, who attended her interview as Wally, from the Where's Wally series, in her bid to take the children's entertainer job, while the new beautician in town is none other than a delighted Mr. Green, despite his questionable make-up artistry skills.

Thank You

Last week, VCAL students Tori Talbett and Campbell Corbett contributed the pet food they had collected throughout Term 4, to the Ballarat Animal Shelter. The food, kindly donated by our students and their families, will assist in feeding the many lost and unwanted animals that find themselves in the shelter. Tori and Campbell would like to express their gratitude to everyone who made a donation; it was much needed and gratefully received.
