Bus use 2018

Senior Vocal Ensemble

The Senior Vocal Ensemble is finally up and running! A group of enthusiastic singers from Years 8-11 have started meeting on Tuesdays after school from 3:45 to 4:45 pm, enjoying a welcome break from the stress of study.

This group has largely continued on from the considerable momentum created by the recent School production. This group really loves to sing and has been learning to sing in parts as well as a few jazz stylings. As the leader of this exciting group, I'd like to extend a welcome to students from Years 8 to 12, along with interested staff and even parents who might prefer to get involved rather than just wait in the car.

For more information, please contact Mr Thompson. 

Bus Driver Needed

BHCS is looking for a "fill-in" bus driver to help out when we have a driver away or on holidays. This is not a full-time position but for someone needed on a very occasional basis.

The driver would need a medium rigid or greater licence, as well as two recent references, a current Working With Children's Check, a current Drivers Certificate, and a Level 2 First Aid Certificate. Contact Reception for inquires. 

Students Withdrawing in 2018

Parents are reminded that should your circumstances have changed and your child is not returning to BHCS in 2018, the School requires one term’s notice in writing. Failure to provide this notice will result in one term’s fees being charged in lieu of this notice.

As Term 4 has now begun, written notice should have already been given to Reception. If you have not yet provided this, please do so without delay.

New Caledonia Trip 2018

Parents and Guardians of students who are planning to join our BHCS trip to New Caledonia in 2018 are advised to make their deposit of $300 by the end of October at Reception to secure their place.

Numbers of the interested students will be assessed as to whether the trip can go ahead and the School will notify the outcome once confirmed.
