Summary: ATHLETICS - We believe students should be physically active on a regular basis in order to develop personal health and fitness. Student participation in active, hands-on and meaningful experiences is an essential part of the learning process. The BH Athletics program enhances mental energy and academic performance while promoting a philosophy of active healthy lifestyles. From our Varsity Prep hockey team that plays in the Junior Women's Hockey League (JWHL), to running club, to our Dragon Boat team, to physical education classes and beyond, there is sure to be something for all of our sports-inclined students, whether at the competitive or recreational level. ARTS - Do you love to dance, sing or act? Do you love to create with your hands, a paintbrush or computer? Whether you want to be on the stage or behind the scenes; publicly praised or quietly applauded, we believe in helping you to develop your talent and perfect your skill.Even if you elect to pursue AP Sciences but love the Arts, you'll have the opportunity to experience it all. At BH we do not expect you to narrow your choices—we want you to expand your vision. That's why we offer courses in performance and visual arts both within the timetable and extending beyond the school day at the Academy of Excellence.

Summary: The University Guidance program aims to connect high school learning with post-secondary education, then through to discovering future career goals. This program will help to provide a smoother transition between high school graduation and appropriate post-secondary programming, based on “best fit” decisions made by students who are confident and well informed. They will acquire the skills to identify and use career and education planning resources. Students engage in discussion and self-reflection to determine their interests and aptitudes. Along with the university advisor, each student begins an intensive exploration of university program choices, the admissions requirements for their school of choice, and the variety of post-secondary choices that exist.
