House Scavanger Hunt
The Junior House Captains, the Junior School Captains and House Teachers have been working on and planning a House Scavenger Hunt for our school community!
The scavenger hunt will require you to take photos in various locations and create a PicCollage that you will then send to your designated house via a for on TEAMS. This will be a fun way to get involved in the BSC community whilst in quarantine so get going and earn your house some points!
Please keep an eye on your school email account and Compass to find out more details! We are looking forward to seeing everyone get involved and who the winning house will be! The competition will start next week and we will announce the winning House and winning student at the start of Term 4!

Orygen Research Program
We are inviting parents of young people across Victoria to take part in Start (a 1.5 hour suicide alertness training program). If you agree to participate you will be asked to participate in Start and answer a series of short questionnaires over 3 time points. Parents who complete all three questionnaires will receive a $25 Coles Myers voucher.
LivingWorks Start is a brief, interactive community training to increase awareness of suicide and develop basic skills at intervening with someone who is considering suicide.
Proficiency in the English language is a requirement for participants in this study because you will need to be able to understand the information provided through the program and complete the questionnaires.

Canteen Menu
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.
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.
