Cubby House Project: Coming Soon!

Our 2024 Construction Pathways students will soon be rolling up their sleeves to begin their much-anticipated Cubby House Project. This project not only provides students with valuable practical experience but also offers our community the chance to own a unique, student-built cubby house! Keep an eye on future newsletters and the Facebook page for further details as they become available.

Thank you to all the workplaces that have hosted our students for Work Experience placements throughout 2024. Your support and mentorship have provided invaluable real-world experience that has supported our students’ learning and career exploration. We truly appreciate your partnership and commitment to helping BHS students.
