Bushfire Management Plan

Many families will be wondering what procedures we have in place in case of emergency during the fire season.

BHCS is on the BARR (Bushfire At-Risk Register).  This means the school is required to follow a certain set of guidelines during extreme fire days, and will be closed on days deemed to be Code Red.  This means that on Code Red days, no persons will remain at school and out-of-school care will be cancelled. Please take the time to read through the PDF of the School’s procedures for a Code Red day.

The School has passed the audit that looks at our Emergency Procedures and the maintenance of the school's grounds in relation to fire risk. We also continue to review our emergency procedures on an annual basis to ensure we maximise the safety of our entire school community.

To view the school's procedure in relation to the bushfire season, please see the included PDF.

Health & Wellbeing Resources

This year has affected different people in different ways. The most difficult part when you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed is recognising this for what it is and seeking assistance. The School has a Health & Wellbeing page available with links to organisations that can assist in areas of Mental Health and Family Violence. Not every organisation will suit every person, but we hope that this at least offers an avenue for people to seek assistance, irrespective of age.
