ALUMNA SHARES MEMORY FROM BEAUMARIS HIGH SCHOOL'S FIRST DAY || This week, we received a heartwarming email from a Beaumaris alumna, sharing a treasured photograph of the front page of ‘The Herald’ from the very first day of Beaumaris High School in 1958, which her mother had kept. In the photo, she stands alongside her classmates, with teacher Winsome Dennis (née Cripps), an elite sprinter who competed in the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games!

The story behind this photo is even more special—at the time, classes were held at the Beaumaris Yacht Club and a hall in Black Rock, as the school building (where our school now stands) wasn't completed until 1959.

Now, as she and her classmates approach their 80th birthdays, they’re still in touch and fondly reflect on those early days of Beaumaris High School. This story is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Beaumaris community, a spirit that continues to thrive in the school community we've built at Beaumaris Secondary College. 

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of history with us!

YEAR 9 SNAP CUP: SPREADING POSITIVITY || This week during their GOAL session, our Year 9 students wrote anonymous messages to each other, sharing what they admire and appreciate. These heartfelt messages were then shared as a year level under the liquid amber tree, with students giving ‘snaps’ to the person they were about. A wonderful way to spread positivity and gratitude as we close out another successful term at BSC!

The Farewell Assembly for Ms Chaves was not only a testament to the extraordinary job she has done and the lasting impact she has had on our students, staff and families, but it also highlighted the wonderful community we have here at Beaumaris. Happy holidays!
