Community

Connections

At Beaumaris Secondary College, community connections are an integral part of learning. Through partnerships with local organisations, businesses and community groups, our students engage in real-world projects beyond the classroom, building the skills, confidence and understanding to become informed, engaged and responsible community members.

Active Engagement

Our students play an active role in a wide range of initiatives, working with local clubs, businesses, kindergartens, primary schools and community groups to make meaningful contributions to the broader community. These partnerships include:

  • ANZAC & Remembrance Day Ceremonies at the Beaumaris RSL
  • Bayside City Council’s Intergenerational iPad & Classroom Connection projects
  • Bayside City Council Youth Services
  • Beaumaris Children's Playhouse
  • Beaumaris Rotary Club
  • Better Health Network Disability Program Footy Day
  • Fairway Aged Care Student Performances
  • Friends of Long Hollow Heathland
  • Kiwanis Club of Moorabbin
  • Marine Education Science and Community Centre (MESAC)
  • Moorabbin Police Crime Prevention Unit - Bayside Safety & Wellbeing Festival and Safe Plate Day
  • Parkrun
  • Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary
  • Royal Melbourne Golf Club
  • Southern FM
  • The Time Capsule Project (BCC, Lions Club & Headspace)
  • Year 9 & 10 Community Connections Program

The students were outstanding in their roles and a hit with customers. We were impressed by their professionalism, positive attitude and willingness to learn, quickly developing skills in customer service, teamwork and mobile payment technology. We would struggle to run our event without them and are indebted to BSC for providing students who are already an asset to their school and will be to society.

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.

In 2023, our student leaders advocated for an additional public bus on Balcombe Road to accommodate our growing numbers. This was a great show of agency by our students, and Brad Rowswell spoke very highly of them in parliament.

Sharing our Facilities

We proudly share our exceptional facilities with the wider community, fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration.

We are pleased to be able to host community events such as Neighbourhood Watch Community Forums, the Goldstein Youth Forum, BGKLLEN Careers Expo and Beaumaris Fossil Expo. Additionally, our partnership with the Melbourne Cricket Club grants us access to world-class sporting facilities, enabling us to host numerous clubs and local sporting groups. This collaboration not only enhances our sporting programs but also strengthens ties with the broader sporting community.
