If you have not received your child’s report by Wednesday, 11 December, 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.
