"Since Giovanni joined BCB in Year 1, I’ve loved volunteering for school activities and helping families feel welcome.

Emily (Minjeong) Ko

I believe a strong community is built through collaboration, and I look forward to contributing to this wonderful community through my involvement in the PTA".

I’m proud to be part of this community and to help make our school an even more welcoming and special place for our children".

PTA CHARITY WORK

Our PTA also gets deeply involved in some charity projects with our students and community. The PTA has organised events such as:

A second-hand uniform sale: an opportunity for our community to purchase pre-owned items, at a nominal cost, and all funds go to support a charity.
A bake sale to support a charity.
Other fundraising events throughout the year.

SECOND-HAND UNIFORMS

Selling second-hand uniforms gives creative ways to parents to pass on items they can no longer use. The sales raise valuable funds and lessen the environmental impact of uniform production and disposal.

The PTA has a Second-hand Uniforms Coordinator who manages a team that helps all families get school uniforms in good condition at a bargain prices. The coordinator promotes sales events during the year and collects and organises the pieces. The PTA accepts donations year-round in the Second-hand box at BCB's front desk.
