Facilities

2025 has seen considerable improvement works carried out with the aim of improving passive spaces and increasing accessibility throughout the school. Examples of facilities projects across 2025 that have enhanced student safety, engagement and wellbeing have included: 

• New DDA bathroom and change space 

• Ramp installation (e.g., The Kate Mitchell Music & Performing Arts Centre ramp) 

• Quadrangle garden development (native plants and ferns, seating) 

• W portable breezeway beautification (seating, planting, artificial turf) 

• Internal painting of learning spaces 

• Pickleball line painting in the gym 

• New Year 7 lockers 

• Installation of gym fans 

• Safety sensors in toilets 

• Security camera server upgrade 

• Indoor gym bench seating 

• Upgrading of school signage and room numbers (P and T portables) 

Over the summer break, works will be well underway with the Administration Office, Reception, and First Aid refurbishment. This project will modernise these spaces and create a safer and more conducive work environment for staff. Although the entrance foyer will remain largely untouched, the slight tweaking of the new reception area will be more welcoming for parents/carers and visitors, whilst maintaining the traditional foyer entrance. 

In 2026, further exploration into our Technology Centre redevelopment will take place, along with planning for a new science lab to be created in an existing learning space. These exciting projects were approved to proceed in 2026 through consultation and approval by School Council (November meeting). 

We deeply appreciate the very generous voluntary contributions from parents to our Grounds and BHHS School Building Fund. These voluntary contributions play a vital role in enhancing our school environment and ensuring ongoing improvements across our facilities, including: 

• Painting and murals 
• Green space development 
• Security infrastructure  
• Building upgrades and modifications 

• IT system enhancements 

   

If you’d like to contribute, please refer to the Compass parent payment portal or contact our Business Manager (Polina.DardelJessop@education.vic.gov.au).  All School Building Fund contributions are tax deductible, and every dollar goes directly toward creating a positive learning space for our students.
