DC LIMITED BORROWING FOR WEEK 9&10
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are super excited to announce we are moving to a new library management system - Oliver - at the end of this term.
Oliver will enable us to create student friendly, age-appropriate web interfaces, provide subject specific resources and help inspire a love of reading. We anticipate the transition may take up to two weeks and will occur during the last two weeks of Term 3. During this time, borrowing will be limited to essentials only.
So, please encourage your students to borrow (and return!) before the end of school on Thursday ,1 September.
We will be up and running again with our new system at the start Term 4.
Many thanks for your support and understanding, we are very much looking forward to sharing Oliver with everyone.
THE PONG IS COMING!
Get ready for all the fun of BHCS getting involved with the Ping Pong-a-Thon again this year on Thursday 15th September.
An email was sent home to all families this week outlining all the ways that you and your children can be involved.

MUSIC TUTORS NEEDED
Since the departure of our piano, singing and woodwind teachers, BHCS has had real trouble finding replacement staff. It seems that the pandemic continues to be felt in unforeseen ways. Rest assured that we are doing all we can to find tutors; meanwhile, if you know of anyone who may be able to help in these areas, please put them in touch with the school via dthompson@bhcs.vic.edu.au
CAREERS NEWS
We encourage Year 12 students to make use of this opportunity and book an appointment with Mrs Whitworth (Career Advisor) on Mondays throughout Term 3 to discuss their future career plans. This appointment can be used to ask questions, help with setting goals for the future, and/or talking through a choice already in mind. To book an appointment click here.
Year 12 students are also welcome to make an appointment with Mrs Wolfaardt for any VTAC assistance and/or SEAS information.
Please see the link to the latest Careers News below.
WELLBEING RESOURCES
We know that it can sometimes be hard to find the necessary resources in relation to mental health, bullying and family violence, especially when things are tough. For this reason, the School has a small webpage with links related to health and wellbeing resources. This can be found on the School's website under Other Resources or can be found here.
