Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Uncle Graeme Cooper once said, "At BHS everybody gets a chance to be a somebody." I truly believe this captures the heart of who we are as a school community.
At BHS, we are fortunate to have a large, expert, and devoted staff who are passionate not only about their curriculum and core responsibilities but also deeply committed to enriching school life. Our staff work tirelessly to provide a wide range of opportunities for students to discover their strengths and find their place to thrive. Through diverse experiences and varied approaches, we strive to ensure every student has the chance to grow academically, socially, and personally.
Together, our dedicated team fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where every student is valued and encouraged to become their best self.
