Families are reminded to collect all medication from First aid at the end of the school year. Collection will start at 1pm on the last day of school, 10th December until the 17th December. This includes Epipens, inhalers, antihistamines and other medications. Medications that are not collected at the end of the year will be disposed of through a chemist.
As Epipens are considerably expensive, we strongly encourage families to place reminders on their calendars.
LOST PROPERTY
Our Lost Property (located at Student Services) is VERY full! If you have lost school uniform items, drink bottles, toys, books, casual clothing - there is a very high chance it is in our lost property. All unclaimed lost property will be donated to the Op Shop/Charity at the end of the term.

SEMESTER 2 REPORTS UPDATE
Semester 2 reports for students in Prep to Year 11 will be emailed to families towards the end of the final week of school, unless there are unexpected delays. Year 12 students will not receive reports, as their results are issued externally. If you have not received your child’s report by Monday December 15, please email reports@bhcs.vic.edu.au and we will assist in resolving the issue as soon as possible to ensure you receive the report.
Queries regarding subject content or grades should be directed to the class teacher, whose email address can be found in the top right corner of the corresponding class report.
