School Canteen

Our school canteen has a range of delicious food and drink choices for recess and lunchtime. Orders can be placed at the canteen, and also online via the Ultimate Schools website.

Mobile Phones

Just a kind reminder about Beaufort Secondary College’s mobile phone policy. If students choose to bring their phone to school our expectation is that they will leave it at the Office in the morning and pick it up after school.

Mobiles phones are not permitted to be used during class time or at recess or lunch.  Should you need to get an urgent message to your child, parents are invited to call the General Office and the message will be delivered to your child immediately.

We thank our families and students for supporting our mobile phone policy so that our students can make the most of their learning at Beaufort Secondary College.
