Cybersafety
Stay Cyber Secure
With many Australians still working from home and so many of us using remote technology to stay connected, it’s important to remain cyber secure.
Flexibility shouldn’t mean a compromise on security.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre keeps you up-to-date on how to stay cyber secure!

Health & Wellbeing Resources
During difficult times, it can be hard to know where to go to get assistance. To this end, the School has made a Health & Wellbeing page available with links to organisations that can assist in areas of Mental Health and Family Violence. We also aim to make a short article available as part of this page.
This term's article is '11 tips for making friends through a confident mindset and social emotional intelligence'.

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:
