As many of you will be aware from the SMS message sent to all families, today we ran a full ‘Lockdown Rehearsal Drill’ at school.

Thank you to our students and staff for following instructions so that we can continue to mitigate any and all risks to our students and keep them safe and secure.

Please note: if you didn't receive an SMS from the school, please call the office to ensure we have your correct contact details on file.

Yesterday we proudly commemorated the 27 Avenue men who lost their lives during the Battle of Amiens in August 1918. Ballarat High School was honoured to be represented at the memorial service at the Arch by Michen Fernando, who participated in the Calling of the Names alongside Sarah Mackenzie, paying tribute to the local soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest we forget.
