Course Confirmation is now open for all year levels
We wish to advise parents and carers that Compass Course Confirmation is now open to all year levels. Consistent with last year our Policies are not included in the Course Confirmation Process and can be found on Compass under School Documentation.
It is an expectation of the College that enrolment will not be complete until these policies have been reviewed. Please complete enrolment prior to 29/1/20 as your student updated medical details are necessary to attend camps, excursions and activities.
If you need assistance with the process, please contact the general office or email familyfinance@brightonsc.vic.edu.au

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.
SUMMER UNIFORM
See more information about Summer Uniform requirements and holiday trading hours of the onsite store in the Uniform section.
Young Carers
A Young Carers program facilitated by Little Dreamers is meeting at lunchtime today in N205. If you identify as a person caring for a parent or sibling with a chronic illness, mental illness, disability or drug/alcohol addiction come along and see how you can be supported during this time.
Little Dreamers is a non-for-profit organisation founded by BSC alumni Maddie Buchner; Little Dreamers aims to create a community where every Young Carer feels supported, valued and empowered through short term and long term programs.
