3 June - Wear your jersey - Free Dress Day

We have an upcoming Casual Dress Day being organised by the Senior Student Council on Friday Week 7. All students are asked to donate a gold coin, with proceeds going to YouChoose, a foundation who presented to the Year 12’s as part of their Growing Good Humans day earlier this year. This foundation is founded by the parents of former PBC student Jordan Hayes, who tragically passed some years ago in a motor vehicle accident and raises funds for further awareness in driver safety. The theme for this day is “jersey”, be it a sporting jersey, jumper etc.

Thursdays, Week 6-9 Term 2

PBC is turning 50!

Our school is turning 50 in 2022 and we are celebrating with the Ultimate Reunion PBC Gala Day and Sunset Soiree. We hope you can come along with the family to enjoy a walk through time. Students will love to come and see what the PBC of the past was like and how we have stayed the same but also changed so much. 

There will be food trucks, student entertainment, self-guided tours, classrooms on display as well as some amazing memorabilia from all the decades past on display. Our faculties will also give a glimps of times gone by and where we are today.

Be sure to put Saturday 11 June, 3-5pm in the diary for the Gala Day.
