GENERAL INFORMATION
BHCS BUS SERVICE
With the rising costs of fuel, we know many of our households are looking for ways to save time and money. We want to remind you that our dedicated school bus service exists to assist school families and also manage the traffic flow within the local area.
Why Choose the BHCS Bus Services?

CRITICAL ALERT MESSAGE - DIGITAL DEVICES
On Monday 27 July at 2 pm, the government will send all compatible mobile devices a Critical Alert message. Compatible mobile devices include phones, tablets, smart watches, safety watches and some vehicle devices. These will vibrate and make a loud, siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds. This will happen even if they are on silent or do not disturb. The message will clearly state that it is a test. No action is required from the test.
