Congratulations - Baby News

The School would like to congratulate Dave Hughes and his wife, Emma, on the birth of their new baby boy, Harvey. 

We would also like to send our congratulations to Ashlee Holdsworth and her husband Garren, who recently welcomed their first child, Ollie, into the world. 

We are sending our thoughts, prayers and well wishes to both families!

Open Day Volunteers

Open Day is coming up fast, and as in previous years we highly value the students and parents who volunteer their time on the day.  

Our student tour guides and students helping in classrooms really assists the school in coming alive. We often get lots of positive feedback about how the students have conducted themselves.  

Parent volunteers have a unique opportunity to chat to visitors, and talk about their experience here.  We also highly value your help with practical things like serving food and drinks, car parking, looking out for teachers, helping visitors find the DC when they arrive, etc.  We couldn't do the day without our valued volunteers!

We need your help this year! Open Day is May 6th, 10am - 1pm (please allow a little time either side).  If you are only able to come for some of the time, that's okay, we'd still love to have you here. 

For student helpers, teachers will be asking for volunteers and letters will be going home soon. For parents, please let Sarah Kelly know if you are able to help: sjkelly@bhcs.vic.edu.au

Thank you for helping us show off our beautiful school - it really is a fun day!

As of Monday, May 8, all students will be expected to wear winter uniforms.

Lost Property

There is currently an abundance of lost property located at Reception, particularly Spray Jackets/Anoraks. We would like to remind parents to please check the lost property to ensure that your child has not lost any items of clothing or lunch items/drink bottles. 

Please remember to name all of your child’s uniform and lunch items. This will ensure that if misplaced, they can be returned to their rightful owner. We encourage parents to also check their child's uniform items to ensure they have not inadvertently taken home another child's clothing.
