Visitors Guide

To ensure the safety of our students, all adults on campus must carry BSB identification at all times.

If you see anyone on the school site without a lanyard, please stop them immediately and ask to see their BSB identification.

Both lanyards and ID badges should be worn to avoid being repeatedly challenged.

Thank you for your support.
