Chance to check out Beechworth Secondary College programs

BEECHWORTH Secondary College’s ‘Discovery Night’ next Wednesday is an exciting opportunity to give prospective students and their families a chance to find out about the school’s programs. College principal Patricia Broom said people can chat to staff and school leaders while student-led tours to explore the state-of-art facilities, activities and interactive experiences are on the agenda. Among the school’s variety of subjects and programs offered are ones meeting community needs such as students combining their studies with childcare courses at TAFE. “Beechworth Childhood and Early Years Learning Centre’s director Mandy Holt is excited about the workplace with the number of childcare students coming through,” Ms Broom said. “We’re funded for students to travel free by bus to access TAFE either in Wangaratta or Wodonga. “With a community service concept, we also have senior year 11 and 12 students working next door with Beechworth Health Service aged care residents on activities such as reading and games. “Year 9 and 10s undertaking leadership studies go to skills and training sessions with primary school kids at Beechworth Primary School as well”. Ms Broom said students take part in the Country Education Partnership (CEP) program - one supporting Victoria’s rural and remote communities. “There are lots of individual program opportunities extended to our Year 12 students, our science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) program is extending all the time, and we offer students a chance to study French too,” she said. “We have arts, sciences, drama and music programs and we had great results achieved by our students undertaking high level maths and sciences in last year’s VCE." Ms Broom said she looked forward to students taking up cooking and hospitality courses housed in the last stage of the school’s upgrade in a new building to start soon. A special event in school connections with the community are students taking part in this year’s Golden Horseshoes Festival helping to be MCs. “No matter what school age young people can discover exciting options available at the local high school,” Ms Broom said. The Discovery Night on Wednesday, 2 April is from 5pm to 7pm and includes an information session by the principal held at 6pm. The evening is also a chance for local community members to check out the latest developments at the school. People are also welcome to visit the college anytime during school hours where a tour can be booked to see the college in operation.
