BHCS' Got Talent

Over 50 students entered the first ever BHCS' Got Talent in Week 3 of this term. Auditions were held and 14 acts made it through to the finals day on Friday, 31st July. The level of talent was extraordinary and the competition gave students a chance to share their gifts & talents with the school community. The finals day ran over an extended lunch break and was a big hit with hundreds of students and staff coming along and supporting the performers.

 

The top 3 places were awarded to:  

3rd - Olivia W (Year 8) 

2nd - Noah C (Year 8)

1st - Jessica D and Ben G (Year 12)

 

Congratulations to all who participated and we look forward to seeing more students give it a go in 2016.

 

Year 7 Art 

After the exhibition opening last Friday afternoon, we are pleased to announce the recipients of the Year 7 Art Exhibition awards. Congratulations go to Elle-May C, Chloe H and Yasmin T.

 

The Year 8 Art exhibition will be coming next.

New Caledonia Update

ATTENTION!  If you are wanting to secure a spot for your child to go on the New Caledonia Trip in 2016, a deposit of $300 needs to be given to Liz Stewart in the Finance Department by NO LATER THAN Friday 21st August. Payments can be made by cash or cheque (placed in a clearly marked envelope) or EFTPOS at Reception.

If you are interested in the trip, but have not yet contacted Mme McGrath or Mme Halliday, please do not hesitate to do so. 

Fiji Resources Needed

The Fijian school is in need of the following:-
