Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability

All schools in Australia, including Independent and Catholic schools, will participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability this year.

The annual collection aims to, over time, lead to nationally consistent, high-quality data that will enable schools, education authorities and governments to gain a more complete understanding of students who are receiving adjustments because of disability in schools in Australia, and how to best support them.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Christine Walker at cwalker@bhcs.vic.edu.au

Families can also refer to the attached Fact Sheet for further information.

2020 Non-Government School Census Collection Notice

The Australian Government provides funding to Australian schools under the Australian Education Act 2013 (AE Act). This Act requires that a school authority provides the Australian Government with certain information about the school, its staff, and student body to ensure the school’s funding is properly calculated and appropriately managed.

BHCS Coronavirus CARE (Crisis & Recovery Emergency) Fund - FEE Relief available

Over the last few months, BHCS has been providing fee relief to the families of approximately 70 students within our school community. That’s almost 10% of our student population.

The BHCS Leadership Team are acutely aware of the disruptive impact that recent events have had on so many within our community.

The CARE Fund has been designed to support those in our community whose household income has been detrimentally impacted as a direct result of COVID-19.

Should you find yourself in this situation, we welcome you to apply for the BHCS CARE Fund via this link:

To ensure that we are able to help as many as possible, we would ask that only those with genuine need apply.

The BHCS Community Support Fund - Are you able to help?

In addition to the BHCS Coronavirus CARE Fund, BHCS has also been providing reductions to some fees and levies. We have been contacted by a number of families who have asked to donate these reductions back to those in our school community who are in need.

This has prompted us to open the BHCS Community Support Fund to provide our community with the opportunity to support one another.

How can you contribute?

You can request that your fee credits be reversed and applied to the BHCS Community Support Fund.
You can make a one-off or recurring donation to the BHCS Community Support Fund by card payment over the phone or by bank transfer, as follows:

Please email lmiko@bhcs.vic.edu.au if you would like to be emailed a receipt.

All donations received will be applied directly to the fee relief being provided through the BHCS Coronavirus CARE Fund to support our struggling families.
