Bluefield Christmas Craft Fair 2018

Saturday, November 3rd - 10.00am - 5.00pm
Welcome to Bluefield High School - Home of the Bobcats
As students and staff prepare for a new school year, I extend a sincere welcome to new and returning students and all parents and guardians.
In an increasingly competitive world, a good high school education is essential. Achieving this requires careful planning and a commitment to regular attendance and hard work. Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with the staff at Bluefield to ensure that students make this commitment. Student involvement in the many activities offered at Bluefield helps students feel part of the school community, offers new opportunities, reflects positively in future endeavours and leads to overall better success in their academics. Parents and guardians can play a large part in this by encouraging their students to become involved.
Parent involvement improves student achievement, promotes positive attitudes toward school and motivates students to succeed. Through our new website, we hope to improve communication between our school and home, and share the many successes of Bluefield's students.
Successful schools are communities: communities of learners, teachers and parents. We ask for the guidance and support of parents/guardians and the commitment of our students to continue to make Bluefield a great place to learn, work and visit. This partnership will ensure that a successful and rewarding environment exists at Bluefield for the youth of our community.
