The Class of 2009

The final graduating class of this decade have had their final official week at BCC. While some will go on and sit their TEE, others will be working, traveling or just contemplating what the future may hold.

Last week a couple of events took place in honour of this graduating class; the first, the final year 12 assembly, was a special moment where the class could proudly sit before the college and be honoured by the school community. Speeches were made, gifts were handed out and awards were… well…. awarded.

The second event, the annual Year 12 Breakfast, took place on Friday morning. The breakfast, a tradition now at BCC, went quite smoothly and all students and staff who attended enjoyed themselves.

As BCC says goodbye to its new graduates, we not only congratulate them all but we wish them all the best. We don’t wish them luck, because luck has nothing to do with it, but we hope all the best in the world for each and every one. We hope that they make the right decisions, and learn when they don’t. We hope that they lead, not follow the crowd. And we hope that they have all the happiness that they deserve in life.

Well done class of 2009 – you have made us proud.

Aspiring Team Members

Mo Bros Rasin’ Mo Money

Movember, Movember, Movember. What a fantastic time of the year. This year BCC is getting involved in a big way with the advent of the Belmont Mo Bro All Stars!

This team of manly men sporting moustaches (well they will by the end of next month) captained by yours truly, Mr Carabetta, will be helping to raise funds for the single greatest mens-related charity on the annual calendar – Movember.

Movember is an event designed to help raise funds for research into mens health in areas such as prostate cancer and depression.

Last year, over 8 million dollars was raised in Australia alone. This year, with BCC on board and set to be a major player, that target should well and truly be met and beaten.

You can jump on board and be a Mo Bro All Star or a Mo Sister All Star (because women can get involved as well – that is to say, women that admire a good-looking mo).

Simply follow the link to either become a part of the team or to donate and sponsor us as well begin our mo-journey.

The Home Stretch

We are finally at that time of the year once again – Term 4. After a Spring Break filled with fantastic weather, all staff and students are back for the home stretch.

Term 4 is not just another term, however. It is significant for a number of reasons. First of all, it is the final time that year 12 students will be attending normal classes in 12 years of school. Week 1 is the final week for all year 12 students and for those sitting their TEE it will no doubt be a week filled with many last minute questions for their teachers.

For the year 11′s it will be business as usual right up until week 4 when they will be preparing for their end of year exams and thereafter will be finished for the year, ready to return in 2010 as seniors.

Our year 8′s are about to complete their first year of high school while the 9′s and 10′s, already veterans, will be working hard to complete and hand in any late work before the end of the year. They will also have the added bonus of being the ‘seniors’ of the school for the final 5 weeks of term as well.

So with that said, we welcome everyone back, all staff and students and we wish you all the best for these final weeks.
