EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! || Beaumaris Secondary College has been featured in today's Herald Sun in an article about teacher-student ratios. Our commitment to quality education shines through with our smaller student-to-staff ratio. With 11.6 students per teacher, we prioritise individual needs and passions, ensuring every child receives the attention they deserve. 

 

In the article, Principal, Ms Chaves states: ‘We're able to meet students at their point of need and are able to develop their passion because we have a breadth of professional expertise and teachers who allow that to happen’ and ‘You allocate your resources to support students and that’s what we’ve done.’

 

With 112 staff currently employed at the school, our college is clearly an attractive place to teach and work. We are grateful to have such a wonderful staff!
