CONVEYANCE & BUS ALLOWANCE 2022
Families who applied for a Conveyance and/or Bus Conveyance Allowance in previous years do not need to complete a new form for 2022 - unless their circumstances have changed - for example an additional child within their family has joined the school and/or they are now using the school bus.
Families who have moved address must submit a new application form in order to qualify for ongoing conveyance allowance. New families who believe they may qualify for the Conveyance Allowance are encouraged to complete a form and submit their applications if they have not already done so.
The eligibility criteria for the Conveyance Allowance is set by the Department of Education and is applied to a families' school fees. BHCS must be the nearest 'like' school, 4.8km or more from the residence. To obtain a copy of the necessary form(s) please email the office at accounts@bhcs.vic.edu.au
SCHOOL AND COVID
This is a reminder to all families that the Department of Health no longer advises workplaces or schools if there has been a COVID positive case on premises. For this reason, it becomes vital you advise the school if your child has been at school while COVID positive by emailing covid@bhcs.vic.edu.au. This allows the school to quickly identify and advise all Primary Close Contacts, so they can go and get tested. Working together means that we can keep everyone as safe as possible.
The current checklist advice for COVID close contacts can be found here.
