PARENT VOICES || There’s no better reflection of a school community than the experiences of the families who are part of it. We were incredibly grateful to receive these words from a BSC parent whose three daughters have each experienced their own journey through Beaumaris Secondary College.

From the relationships built with teachers and GOAL Mentors to the support of friends and the opportunities to learn, grow and succeed, it’s feedback like this that reminds us of the difference a strong school community can make.

Three daughters. Three different journeys. One school community.

The value of a great public education.

R U OK? DAY – WELLBEING AT BEAUMARIS || Today is a reminder to ask “R U OK?”, but at Beaumaris, checking in with each other is something we do every day.

As part of our Bigger Buddy System initiative in GOAL this week, our focus was on how even small interactions with strangers, friends and family can create meaningful connections and opportunities to check in and ask, “R U OK?”

Behind our everyday approach to wellbeing is a dedicated team of people supporting our students and families. Led by Assistant Principal Sean Leith, our Wellbeing Team includes Rachel Felmingham (Wellbeing Team Leader – Mental Health Practitioner), Rosanna Giosserano (Psychologist) and Elin Kim (Counsellor). Working alongside our GOAL Mentors and staff, the team helps ensure our young people feel supported and connected.
