End of Year Reminders- IMPORTANT

Medication Collection

Please remember to collect all medication from Reception at the end of the school year - including Epipens, inhalers, antihistamines or any other medication. Medication 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 areas (located at Reception & Junior School) are VERY full! If you have lost spectacles, 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 school year.

Locker Cleanout

Families are asked to remind their children about ensuring everything is removed from their locker by the end of the school year. Remaining items found in or around lockers will be disposed of.

Library & Textbook Return

Please return all library books and text books to the Discovery Centre by this Friday, 6th December.

Teachers have received a list of all outstanding loans for students in their class. Students in Year 3 and above have also received emails with all their outstanding loans.

Thank you to all students and parents who have already returned many books.

Please email discovery@bhcs.vic.edu.au or feel free to drop into the DC if you have any questions regarding student loans.
