UCHSK Students' Journey

'Journey' is an art exhibition created by indigenous students from UCHSK through BCS's Bungee Program. The exhibition explores young men's identity represented by wood carvings and masks and runs for a week, from December 13th until the 20th at BCS Kippax.

Cody, Nathaniel, Tre, Dayne and Troy have spent the last 9 weeks creating and preparing for the opening of this exhibition. They’re understandably excited by the event and would be delighted to see as many friends, family and teachers at the opening.

'Journey' officially opens at 5.30pm on Tuesday the 13th, with light refreshments available. Please RSVP to bungee@bcsact.com.au or by calling 62640200 by the end of today.


UCHSK is very proud of our young men and the way they have explored these personal themes through creative expression!

January Code Campers

This summer, we are hosting a very special school holiday program called Code Camp where your child can build their very own iPhone or Android app!

 

Code Camp have already taught more than 10,000 students in Australia in years K-10, teaching them important skills such as computational thinking, logic, creativity, user experience, app development and game building in a fun and engaging way.

 

The Camps Explained

 

Spark (Years 2-6)
Fun, engaging and challenging… and are our most known Code Camp which more than 10,000 students have completed. Code Camp Spark is where every student in years 2-6 should start their Code Camp journey.

 

Ignite (Years 2-10)

If you have completed Spark (or are in Years 7-10) check out Code Camp Ignite! Students will build their skills and create new apps with increasingly complex logic, more code, behaviours and problem solving.

UCHSK Uniform Shop News

As student numbers continue to flourish at UCHSK, it has become increasingly difficult to hold enough stock of our school uniforms at the school to meet demand. With this in mind, we have been in negotiations with our uniform supplier surrounding the possibility of outsourcing our sales to a shopfront.

 We are excited to announce that we are in the final stages of transitioning uniform sales to a store nearby (approx. 10 – 15 mins drive away)!

As such, we now hold minimal stock at the school in the hopes that the store will be in a position to commence sales of our uniform around mid-November.  If there are any urgent uniform requests in the meantime, we will certainly do our best to fill your order (please note however that there will be a delay of around two weeks if items need to be ordered in). All uniform orders received to date have also been processed.

It is anticipated that there will be multiple benefits to families being able to access our uniforms offsite with the store being open Saturdays, school holidays and having the convenience of online ordering. The store will also stock generic navy track pants and shorts.

All families will be emailed details of where to purchase our uniforms once the store is up and running, so watch this space!
