Secondary Matters

Our campus has been a hive of activity in so many areas during Term 4. Thank you to all of our families as they do early drop-offs, attend events or a late pick up at the moment.

Recognition and affirmations continue across the secondary campus. Some of the main ones include:

• Performing Arts Ensemble Night was a full program of creative performers across K-12. A celebration of music. Thank you to all families for supporting the evening and the many parents who supplied or worked the BBQ and cake stall.
• Year 7 Religion, Ethics and Philosophy team are finalists in the 2022 Future Anything Educator Awards Team of the Year. This is our entrepreneurship through ethics program in Year 7 REP in Term 2 and Term 3. Congratulations to Mel Eckford, Andrew Buchan, Tiffany Easman, Rebecca Brown, Daniel Linke, Simon Doyle and HOF James Brown. This comes after Sophie Diggens in Year 7 made it to the ACTIVATE National Semi-Finals this term.
• High Performance Program Music and Dance student's successful inclusion of Amelia Carpenter Year 8 Dance, Hunter Metcalfe Year 9 Dance and Music, Cooper Lane and Camble Scott Year 9 Music
• Joshua Walraven awarded his LMusA on piano and many more performing arts students' levels and awards over the last month.
• BDC Equestrian team at the interschools carnival, NCIS Basketball, Tennis last week.

The small snapshot above is a reflection of the diverse opportunities that families and students can be involved in at BDC as part of their education experience.
