Students love to see you on the side-line or getting even more actively involved in their activities. All sports that our students play require parental involvement and there are several ways that you can help and encourage your child.
There is something for everyone to do. It does not have to be the same sport or at the same level as your child is playing.
Whatever you do, you can be assured that the students will appreciate and benefit from your involvement, and hopefully you will enjoy the closer contact with the college.
We have dedicated staff to help drive and support the co-curricular programme, so please do not hesitate to contact us.

The committee is made up with representatives from the parent body, Principal and Board of Trustees representative.
All are welcome. Even if you can’t make it every month, it is an ideal platform for information sharing (and to discuss any issues with our big chief – the Principal).
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm in our college Staffroom (above Reception).
Not everybody likes meetings, committees etc., but just want to help when they have the time available, that’s fine, we need extra hands every now and then. Any interested person directly associated with the college can help, so…
Leave your details with our receptionist Mrs Jacqui Redfearn, 273-2310 ext. #204 j.redfearn@bdsc.school.nz and then we can contact you when we need help.
We are looking for families to become homestay providers to our international students. We need families for one term, two terms, and full-year periods.
Families are reimbursed $290 per week.
Warm, welcoming families where students are included and can experience the Kiwi lifestyle. Families need to be available and willing to spend time with their students and show them around Auckland.
Students should feel at home and integrated into your family’s life.
English must be your first language, and your culture in terms of food and lifestyle needs to be Kiwi or very similar to the Kiwi culture.
Hosting an international student can be a really great experience for your family.
We understand that it is not always easy to make the decision to take an international student into your home; we will endeavour to provide all the information you require to help you to make a decision.
We try to match students to families with similar interests; the information you provide to us in the application form below helps us in this process.
