Community

Connections

We recognise the invaluable role that community connections play in enriching the educational experience of our students. Through active engagement with local organisations, businesses, and community groups, we foster a dynamic environment where students are empowered to make meaningful contributions beyond the classroom.

Active Engagement

Our school culture is deeply informed by our connections to the wider community, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our students not only benefit from these connections but also contribute meaningfully to them. Our aim is for students to emerge from Beaumaris Secondary College as informed, engaged and responsible community members.

Our students play pivotal roles in various community events, demonstrating leadership and embodying the values we uphold. We actively engage with local clubs, businesses, kindergartens, primary schools and community groups, forging strong bonds that enrich both our school and the broader community. Such events, projects, partnerships and initiatives include:

  • Anzac & Remembrance Day Ceremonies at the Beaumaris RSL
  • Bayside City Council’s Intergenerational iPad project
  • Victoria Police for Community Safe Plate Day
  • Marine Education Science and Community Centre (MESAC)
  • Friends of Long Hollow Heathland
  • Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary
  • Moorabbin Police Crime Prevention Unit
  • Bayside Safety & Wellbeing Festival
  • Better Health Network Adult Community Options Disability Day Program annual Footy Day - student run drills and activities
  • The Time Capsule Project - Bayside City Council, Lions Club of Sandringham & Headspace
  • Kiwanis Club of Moorabbin
  • Bayside City Council

  • Royal Melbourne Golf Club
  • Year 9 & 10 Community Connections Program
  • Parkruns (Karkarook & Chelsea Bicentennial)
  • Fairway Aged Care Student Performances
  • Beaumaris Children's Playhouse

According to the team at Kiwanis, our students were outstanding in their roles, particularly with mobile phone technology, and they were a hit with the customers too! They were truly impressed by their professionalism and positive attitude, stating that “we are indebted to BSC as a whole for providing students whom we are positive will go on to be an asset to our society as they are already to their school”.

Kiwanis Club of Moorabbin Inc. - May 2025

The students were an absolute delight and very keen to learn new skills like customer service, dealing with the public and working as part of a team. They were quick to learn and keen to do well, especially with the electronic payment system Square. We would really struggle for volunteers were it not for your students. They are that important to us and we hope our event is important to your students and BSC also.

Year 11 History student, Jake D, delivered a heartfelt tribute to our fallen heroes. His message resonated deeply with everyone in attendance, and many expressed their appreciation, with more than one remarking that, with students like ours, 'the future is in good hands.'

Local Support & Collaboration

We are fortunate to receive unwavering support from our local council, state, and federal members, who actively participate in school events and prioritise the social and emotional wellbeing of our students and staff. Their support underscores the importance of community collaboration and reinforces our commitment to nurturing thriving relationships within our community.
