Free Bayside writing, comics and art program

Bayside Council is offering a 12-week program: Creative Wellbeing: Writing, Comics & Art, a free program for young people aged 15–22 who live, study, work or play in Bayside, or have a strong connection to the area. 

The program uses creative writing, character creation, comics, visual storytelling and collaborative activities to support self-expression, confidence, social connection, belonging and wellbeing. No previous creative experience is needed.

Sessions are led by comics artists Aaron Billings and Reimena Yee and writer Meg Allan, with Cira Mozos coordinating the program. Guest artist Al Barrionuevo, whose comics work includes Marvel and DC titles, will also contribute. 

The planned start is Monday 19 October 2026, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, at Peterson Youth Centre, on the corner of Highett Road and Peterson Street, Highett. 

Although the program starts on Monday 19 October, students are welcome to register for interest and join in the following weeks, subject to available places. Those unable to attend the first session can contact us to discuss a suitable start date.

Young people and families can contact us directly to register interest.

Road Safety Around Brighton Secondary College

Dear Students, Parents and Carers,

We have observed and received some polite and constructive feedback from neighbours in Burwah Avenue and surrounding streets regarding vehicles being parked across driveways and stopping or parking in No Standing zones during student drop-off and pick-up times.

We appreciate the support of our school community in helping us be considerate neighbours and ensuring everyone remains safe while avoiding unnecessary fines.

Please note the following Victorian Road Safety Road Rules, which are enforced by Bayside City Council:

• You must not park fully or partially across any driveway, even if it is your own driveway.
• The only exception is to stop for up to two minutes solely to pick up or set down passengers, provided the driver remains with the vehicle and it is safe to do so.

• There is no minimum distance specified from a driveway. An offence occurs if any part of your vehicle is across or obstructing a driveway.

   

Residents can report vehicles obstructing their driveway to Bayside City Council's Parking Enforcement Team. An authorised parking officer may inspect the vehicle and, where appropriate, issue an infringement notice.

To assist families, the 2-minute pick-up zone on Marriage Road has recently been extended, helping to reduce congestion at peak times. There are also a number of suitable pick-up and drop-off locations along the Dendy Street perimeter, which provide a convenient alternative.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students safe, respecting our neighbours, and ensuring traffic around the school remains safe and accessible for everyone.

Warm Regards,

BSC
