GENERAL INFORMATION
UPCOMING PUBLIC HOLIDAY & CURRICULUM DAY
Please be reminded:
Monday, June 10 is a Public Holiday (Kings Birthday) and Friday, June 14 is a Curriculum Day. There will be no students at school on these days.

UPDATE TO PRIMARY SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL ROUTINE
If your child is waiting afterschool for a Secondary sibling to end their day before they are picked up by you, we now ask that they first come to the Primary School undercover courts until the 3:30 bell. They will have a supervised play and then at the bell proceed to your family's designated meeting spot. Thank you for your support in this change.
CAMP AUSTRALIA - CHANGE OF LOCATION
Before School Care, After School Care and Rocketeers are going to be located within the Primary School buildings from Monday morning, the 17th June.
The NEW ROOM is next to the new uniform shop, previously known as ‘The Burrow’.
If you walk past the DC/library, towards the Primary undercover sports courts, you will see us on the right hand side. We are directly underneath the Prep, Year 5 & 6 rooms, on the ground level.
If you are having trouble finding us, please call 0452 247 941 or see the BHCS Office for directions.
