BTC Interhouse Swimming Carnival

Last week saw the BTC Secondary students invade the town pool for the annual Interhouse Swimming Carnival. The carnival was held during the day this year, which led to a relaxed carnival where we weren't worried about the evening thunderstorm we had to dodge in previous years. Students were keen and committed to trying their best. Records were broken by Thomas Polkinghorne, Darcy Ginns-Larkin, Doug Rayment and Callum Smith. Girls Age Champions were Layne Prichard (13yrs),Maddie Fox (14yrs),Jane Wallace (15yrs)Jessica Sollitt(16yrs)Emma Evert (Open) with Archie house winning the girl's competition.Boys Age Champions were Thomas Polkinghorne (13yrs)Harrison Phillott(14yrs)Doug Rayment (15yrs)Callum Smith(16yrs) Zac Santo (Open) with Black house winnng the boy's compeition. Overall winners were Archie Black. The highlight of the evening was the annual "Beat Mr Gilbert" race with Doug Rayment pulling away to beat him in the last few metres of the 50m breaststroke. Interschool swimming will be held on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 February.

Students Prepare For 2010

Welcome back to the BTC Blog.After a rainy start to the 2010 school year, students were seen enjoying the sunshine around the College grounds at the start of Week 2. The hall has had the asbestos in the roof removed and has been painted over the holidays and is looking good. The Primary library is still a work in progress but it is taking shape .

Year 7 Graduation Lunch

Year 7 students, parents and friends celebrated their graduation from Primary School, at the Park Motel. The students were treated to fine class dining with a selection of delicious finger food and an endless glass of softdrink. Mrs Black presented each students with a "Mr Men" they could identify with. With each presentation she had funny stories of incidents at school which led to the Mr Men choice. They also recieved a Graduation certificate. A great luch was had by all. Thanks to Mrs Cerqui for organising the lunch and for Mrs Clavis at the Park Motel for providing an excellent lunch.
