10.01.2022 The Steam and Traction Rally is fast approaching. As a school we are reliant on our fundraising drives to enable the purchase of things such as large Cleverscreens for classrooms. They’re not cheap. You can assist our fundraising by either putting in some voluntary hours at the Morning-Afternoon Tea stall or you could bake a batch of scones that can be on-sold. Please contact Lisa at BCDS and she will pass your details onto Jacqui Jones, the Governing council rep on the Fundraising Committee. Thank you

Concert and Presentation Nights: At this stage we are excited to say that both the primary concert (both day and evening sessions) and secondary presentation night are able to run as planned. Our existing ticketing system will allow us to maintain physical distancing. We will update families of any changes to this. Thank you all for your understanding!

04.01.2022 . A lot of warnings have been issued for children to stay off social media, specifically Tik Tok, d...ue to a graphic self harm video that’s circulating. While we do recommend that parents monitor their children or keep them off the platform, it's a band-aid solution for a long-term issue due to the fact that distressing videos constantly circulate online. Instead we would like to encourage all parents and guardians to -: 1 . Understand that they will most likely use it, whether you understand the appeal or not. Ask them what apps they use, find out why they like those apps. Start a dialogue so you can start understanding why it’s important to them. The more you understand about it, the more you can stay across it. 2 . If you know what apps they’re using, help them make their profile as secure as possible, whether it’s TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch or Reddit (the list is endless). You can do this with the help of this eSafety Commissioner guide: www.esafety.gov.au/key-issues/esafety-guide 3 . Be open and willing to listen. Make them aware of Kids Helpline Official (1800 55 1800), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), headspace (headspace.org.au) and Lifeline (13 11 14) so they know they have a place to contact if they don’t feel comfortable approaching you. 4 . Kids often create a social media profile that they make visible to you, but keep their actual profile under a fake name hidden from you. Again, this is why we encourage you to talk to your child openly and honestly. 5 . If your child watches YouTube videos, please be aware there's no guarantee that this content will be safe for kids. People can easily edit distressing videos for kids that slip through the filters. If you can't monitor your child on YouTube then let them watch Netflix kids instead as it has stronger filters. SBS and ABC iview are both free alternatives for children’s online content. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner is a great resource for parents, guardians and kids: www.esafety.gov.au
