Issue #3 15 February 2021 From the principal’s desk: Congratulations to those students who participated in our annual Swimming Carnival on Wednesday 10 February. This event was held for the first time at Blacktown Aquatic Centre due to our usual venue currently undergoing reconstruction. Students were transported to and from BHHS via bus. Well done to all competitors – what a great day! Placegetters have been acknowledged at Monday’s whole school assembly. Please see later in this newsletter for a full list of place getters. Special thanks to Mr Filewood, our Sports Organiser, for organising a smooth and efficiently coordinated carnival, and to the team of staff involved on the day that ensured it ran like clockwork. This week is the annual BHHS 2020 Presentation Night, on the evening of Thursday 18 February, to acknowledge student achievements across the school. Cont.
