Extra-Curriculars


The BHS Football Club (BHSFC) competed in the Kappa Classic football tournament, which featured 1300 local youth footballers, including a record number of girls. The Club entered two teams in the U9s and one team each in the U11s and U13s. All the girls played extremely well over a wet, windy and very cold weekend that tested the players’ resilience as much as their skill.


In the U13 final, BHSFC was, once again, pitted against Warwick Academy. After a thrilling 3-3 draw and a nail-biting penalty shoot-out, BHSFC claimed the trophy for the Club’s second-ever Kappa Classic championship!
