Robert Connor Dawes Foundation Very Merry Christmas Market
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Find the perfect Christmas gift for everyone at the RCD Foundation's annual Christmas Market.
There will be live music, festive decorations, RCD merch, jewellery and plenty of the same fantastic food items you're used to, PLUS some pretty incredible silent Instagram auction items up for grabs.
And of course, all proceeds support brain matters, how many other Christmas gifts can do that? Stay up to date via our Instagram and Facebook pages.
When: Thursday, December 5, 9am-8pm
Where: 39 Royal Ave, Sandringham
Gold coin donation on entry *
Why support RCD Foundation? It raises awareness and funds for paediatric brain cancer. Brain cancer kills more children than any other disease and due to a critical lack of funding, those survival rates have barely changed in 30 years. We think it’s about time to change that.

Hospitality Summer School!!
Once again BSC is running the Hospitality program in the second week of January.
This program will provide students with FIVE certificates and make up the minimum qualifications that they will need to find employment in the hospitality industry.
The certificates are:
- Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA)
- Food Safety Handler Level 1
- Barista Basics
- Professional Waiter
- Provide First Aid
This would be a FANTASTIC opportunity for your child or if you know of a child (Year 11 & 12) who may be interested in pursuing work in the Hospitality Industry, as gaining this certificate will give them a great advantage when looking for employment and getting them in the door!

If you would like to donate through Compass, please go to Course Confirmation/Payments tab and click on 2019 Optional and Voluntary Items.
Canteen Menu
ALLERGIES: Please note that we are not a nut-free school and the canteen often uses nuts in their dishes. In addition, while gluten free options are sometimes provided, the canteen make doughs in the kitchen area therefore flour is often in the air and therefore no item can be deemed 100% gluten free.
Info - Consent for Events
Any event (excursion or sports day) that a student is involved in requires online parental consent through Compass.
There are a number of sports days approaching and all students involved need consent for them to be able to leave the school grounds and attend the day.
Email reminders are sent to all parents of those students involved and your assistance with providing consent is greatly appreciated.
It is your child that misses out if consent is not received.
