Vision and Mission

Our vision is to foster curiosity, challenge thinking and instil a sense of purpose within our students. Committed to academic excellence, our mission is to inspire students to become critical global citizens, contributing positively to the world with responsibility, pride and integrity.

Values

We embrace our CORE values - curiosity, optimism, respect and excellence - creating a welcoming, supportive environment with a focus on global perspectives and cultural diversity. Our dedicated staff builds strong transparent and genuine relationships with students and families, prioritising academic success and wellbeing. 

Curriculum

We offer a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the F-10 Victorian Curriculum and VCE, promoting deep learning. Committed to differentiation to support diverse learning, our pedagogical approach matches teaching to learning spaces, utilising High Impact Teaching Strategies and Project Based Learning for meaningful inquiry.

Teaching Team

Our team of highly capable, collaborative and creative educators are devoted to delivering teaching and learning of the highest calibre. With a commitment to excellence, our professional and dedicated staff prioritise building strong relationships with students and their families. This focus not only ensures academic success but also supports overall wellbeing. Our outstanding teachers play a pivotal role in inspiring students to strive for excellence across all facets of their school life. Fuelled by passion and expertise, they contribute to an environment where students are not only encouraged but truly inspired to reach their full potential. This dedication fosters a culture of continuous learning and achievement, shaping well-rounded individuals ready for future success.

Student Wellbeing

At Beaumaris Secondary College, we prioritise the holistic development of our students through our comprehensive GOAL (Pastoral Care) program. This program is designed to foster an environment that nurtures physical, social, intellectual, and emotional growth. We strive to create an environment where every student can reach their full potential and emerge as confident, compassionate leaders of tomorrow.

The GOAL program revolves around four key pillars: Gratitude, Organisation, Aspirations and Leadership. These elements are not only integral to personal development but also essential for success in both academic and personal endeavours. 

Central to the success of the GOAL program are our dedicated GOAL Mentors, who work closely with our Head of Wellbeing. These mentors play a crucial role in ensuring that each student receives the support and guidance they need to thrive. They serve as a bridge between students, their teachers, and parents, facilitating effective communication and collaboration.

Our Wellbeing Team spearheads the implementation of our wellbeing programs. With their expertise, they provide additional support and guidance to students and families, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to flourish.

Technology Integration

As a technology-rich environment, we leverage the Microsoft Office 365 platform, utilising OneNote digital notebooks and Teams for seamless collaboration and accessible learning.

Co-curricular Activities

Our diverse co-curricular programs cater to all students, fostering connectedness and inclusion. From camps to instrumental music, college production, clubs, VCE study sessions, our Micro-credentials Program and student leadership, students discover passions and develop valuable skills.

• Recycling Programs: We have implemented paper and cardboard recycling boxes throughout the school, along with a dedicated can recycling program to encourage responsible waste disposal.
  
• Sustainable Food Practices: In our Food Technology space, we have a sustainable food composter known as the FoodCycler. This innovative system transforms kitchen waste into valuable fertiliser for our gardens.
  
• Sustainable School Shop: We have partnered with the Sustainable School Shop to provide families access to second-hand textbooks, uniforms, calculators and other school items. This long-standing partnership has supported our commitment to sustainability, offering a convenient, eco-friendly alternative that many families appreciate. Please refer to the attached brochure for more information, as more families are choosing this sustainable option each year.
  
• Climate Action Team (CAT): Our dedicated Climate Action Team promotes environmental awareness and sustainability through various initiatives, including:
  
  • Celebrating World Habitat Week with engaging lunchtime activities such as a BBQ fundraiser for Wildlife Victoria, bee bundle-building, sowing native seedlings, and a special screening of a David Attenborough film.
  • Improving our school’s waste management practices to reduce our ecological footprint.
  • Crafting and installing animal housing, including bee hotels, bat boxes, and birdhouses, to support local wildlife.
  • Introducing informative signage around the school grounds to discourage littering and feeding birds, fostering a cleaner environment.
  • Revitalising our school garden through rehabilitation efforts that encourage biodiversity and native plant growth.
  • Sharing opportunities for environmental stewardship through our school newsletter, encouraging our community to participate in giving back to the environment.

Through education about sustainability, we aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills to contribute to our world in a sustainable way.

At Beaumaris Secondary College, we believe that education extends beyond academics. We are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only intellectually capable but also emotionally resilient and socially adept.
