Holiday Activities
After a very busy and productive Term, I would like to wish all of our School families a relaxing break during the next two weeks. Classes will begin again in Term 2 on Tuesday 23 April, immediately following Easter Monday. Please note also that the first week of term will be quite disjointed, as the ANZAC day holiday falls on the first Thursday of Term. The School offices will be open as usual throughout the vacation period, except for the Easter Holidays. I now leave for Sabbatical Leave, but look forward to seeing everybody again on my return at the start of Term 3, 2019. Thanks to all of you who have wished me well for this time. During my absence, our Deputy Head, Mr Rob French, will be Acting Headmaster. Parents at all levels of the School should not hesitate to make contact with him if they have any matters they would normally wish to raise with me.

During the first week of Term 2, on Wednesday 24 April, we will be holding a special ANZAC Day Assembly, when we will take time to reflect and honour the sacrifice of those who fought in the First World War. We will be particularly remembering those past students of our school who lost their lives while serving our Country. Our ANZAC Dawn Service will be held on Thursday 25 April at 6.00am in the Wheelton Amphitheatre, followed by a breakfast provided by the Friends of Cadets. Family groups and all friends of the school are warmly invited to attend this service and are requested to gather in the Amphitheater at 5.45am. The underground carpark (enter from Gate 3), will open at 5.30am. Should you wish to stay for the breakfast, please register online by 23 April, using the following Trybooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/BBVRE. The cost of the breakfast will be $5.00. There is no charge for members of the Cadet Unit and students assisting with the service.
Year 9-10 Production - Twelve Angry Men Congratulations to Ms Penny Wood and the cast and crew of the very fine production of Twelve Angry Men which was presented last evening. The production standard was very high indeed, and the ensemble cast worked beautifully together with precision timing to present this play, set in New York in 1957, which explores the themes of prejudice and injustice in ways which remain very relevant today. The students had only this term to prepare, and the final result was most impressive. Well done to all.
School Production - Hamlet Our Head of Drama, Mr Andrew Stocker, together with a very eager team of our students and girls from Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College, have been working hard to prepare this year’s production Hamlet. The production will be presented on Thursday 9, Friday 10 and Saturday 11 May. There is a flyer attached to this Bulletin, which explains how to reserve tickets – please support our students and the team by attending this classic work.
School Uniform Please note that all students should wear full Winter School uniform from the beginning of Term 2. In particular, boys in Middle and Senior Schools are required to wear their school blazers at all times when in public and on formal School occasions. At no time may the school pullover be worn as the outermost garment on the way to and from school, or at Assembly, or other formal functions. All Middle and Senior School students are required to wear long grey trousers, with the regulation School belt or plain black belt, black or grey socks, long-sleeved blue (Middle School) or white (Senior School) shirt with School tie, blazer and black leather lace-up school shoes. High standards of dress and appearance are part of our overall commitment to excellence in everything we do, and I do thank all parents for the strong support they give to the school in ensuring that our student’s appearance is neat, tidy and appropriate at all times.
