Year 12 VM Program Projects Presentation

Our Year 12 Vocational Major students showcased their ambitious VCE VM Program projects to the Principal team on Thursday 12 June, 2025. Held in the MCC Pavilion, this valuable experience not only prepared them for their end-of-year portfolio but also supported students in meeting outcomes for their Literacy, Work Related Skills and Personal Development Skills areas of study. The students did an outstanding job!

Beaumaris Children’s Playhouse Community Project

2025

Our Year 12 Vocational Major students began their community project with a visit to Beaumaris Children’s Playhouse in February. For their initial activity, students assisted the Playhouse by conducting OH&S audits, focusing on playground equipment, structures, sheds, and general facilities.

In May, they actively participated in a productive working bee, tackling various tasks. These included installing shelves to create a new reading area, refurbishing the racetrack, painting the new sandpit, and designing murals for both the art room and an outdoor area.

Additionally, they organised a successful Toy & Children’s Book Drive in support of the Cancer Council during the Biggest Morning Tea event at Beaumaris Children's Playhouse on 1 June. Students contributed in multiple capacities, such as BBQ cooking, managing entry payments, providing face painting and nail services, overseeing story time and music playlists, assisting with the raffle, capturing photographs, distributing toys from the drive, and aiding in setup and cleanup.

New Footpath for our Outdoor Classroom

July 2024

Our Year 11 Vocational Major students have taken their practical skills to the next level by constructing a new footpath for our outdoor classroom. This initiative not only enhances the accessibility and usability of the space but also demonstrates the students' hard work and commitment to improving our school environment. Well done to our talented Year 11 VM students!

Long Hollow Clean Up

30 April 2024

Our VCE Vocational Major students took charge in reinvigorating our outdoor classroom! They rolled up their sleeves, tackled weeds, cleared pathways and laid down fresh mulch in the parklands behind the school. Despite the challenges, they powered through and did an amazing job. This experience was invaluable, but the work isn't over yet!

Ride2School Day

21 March 2024

The VCE Vocational Major Year 11 students organised the first-ever BSC Ride2School Day, with over 78% of students riding, walking, or taking public transport to school! Kudos to all participants who embraced the initiative, and a big shout-out to Nippy’s and Carman’s for their generosity! Active communities are great communities!

Cans for Cause Campaign

February 2024

The VCE Vocational Major Year 11 students introduced the 'Cans for Cause' campaign. New bins have been placed around the school for students to place any bottles, cans or cartons into. The money raised for the month of February is going towards The Smith Family - not only can we clean up the school, but we can also help young people in need.

BBQ Fundraiser for The Lost Dogs Home

November 2023

On Tuesday 14 November 2023, the Year 11 Vocational Major students fired up the BBQ as part of their Community Engagement Project to raise funds for The Lost Dogs Home. Thank you to everyone who supported the cause and purchased a sausage. We raised a total of $615.00!

The Lost Dogs Home will be very appreciative and will put the funds towards caring for the animals in the shelter.

Thank you to the following local businesses for their donations and support:

  • Bakers Delight at the Beaumaris Concourse
  • IGA at the Beaumaris Concourse
  • Elwood Bakery.

The Collective Café

Community Ventures - May 2023

Two of the groups from the Vocational Major had a trial run of their community ventures on Friday 12 May 2023. The Collective Café opened a temporary coffee shop within the staff room, making coffees for teachers where the coffee was free but customers were asked to make a donation to one of three charities. The students managed to raise $114.85 for the Kawanis Club which is fantastic effort by Sachin M and Isaac H.

Our Vocational Major (VM) students opened the doors to their ‘Collective Café’ again in August 2023. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee proved popular with staff who, in return, gave back to a local non-profit. Kudos to our VM students for this initiative that blends learning with community impact!

The Beauy Bikes Initiative

Community Ventures - May 2023

The Beauy Bikes initiative also took its first bikes for service. This trial was offered to the first five students free of charge. With no major issues, the students will be looking to set up their venture in the coming weeks, where students are able to get their bikes serviced while at school with proceeds going towards the Fred Hollows Foundation. Another fantastic initiative by the Vocational Major students.
