A word from the Principal

 

 

 

As your Principal, I am thrilled to share with you the vibrant array of activities and experiences that our students have been engaging in. These opportunities are not just about having fun; they are carefully crafted to build character and equip our students with essential 21st-century skills.  They are the authentic ways in which our students build their  CQEES portfolio !  

All staff and all students were involved in EXPERIENCE week. The entire week required a huge logistic effort and I wish to thank Melanie Soklevski and the events team (Brett, Luke and Virginia) for the their planning and diligence. 

 

 

Experiences through Camps and Excursions

The Entry Camp, Pace 1 and 2 camps, Pace 3 Work experience, and the Athletics carnival are prime examples of how we extend learning beyond the classroom.

 

Well done to all the students that participated in an exhilarating outdoor adventure at the picturesque Yarra Valley. From hiking to team-building challenges, they learned to collaborate, communicate, and overcome obstacles. These experiences foster independence, build resilience and self-confidence. There is no better way to genuinely develop these attributes, the best AI or VR or theory lesson can not replicate the physical reality !

Our PreGrads and Grads didn’t miss out, engaging in a range of activities culminating in , 'the great city adventure trek'. Plenty of landmarks to observe and navigate and a nice primer for those interested in a University Pathways at Melbourne, ACU and RMIT.

 

 

Societal Community Engagement

Activities such as the Farm to Fork program and visits to RMIT Bundoora allowed our students to connect their learning with real-world applications. These experiences enhanced their understanding of various career pathways and the importance of food science in our society.

 

Physical and Emotional Well-being

Our commitment to student well-being is evident through events like Health and Wellbeing Week, where middle school students participated in minor games to boost their physical, social, and emotional health. Such activities are crucial for developing empathy and emotional intelligence.

 

These diverse experiences are integral to our educational philosophy. They not only enrich our students’ academic journey but also prepare them to thrive as global citizens in a rapidly changing world.

Building the CQEES portfolio is as important as the Semester reports. If our students are to truly shine, stand out from the crowd and make their mark, then we must celebrate all these key CQEES elements. 

 

CQEES interviews are at the end of term .

 

 

  

Diverse Learning Experiences

Our recent Open Day Tour showcased our Empowerment Education Model, which is designed to foster a lifelong love of learning. The interactive sessions, one-to-one chats, and exploration of our unique facilities like the farm and Virtual Reality Centre all contribute to a dynamic learning environment.  Over 350 interested families and now over 100 Entry applicants for entry 2025, our biggest yet.  As always the staff and students were the stars that shone telling their story and experiences at BSC.

A word from the student leaders

 

Term 2 Leadership

During the first week back of Term 2, Wednesday April 18th, we ran our annual athletics day. In celebration of this annual event, it was observed that most of the leadership team helped run these events. Leadership also participated and encouraged these events, adding to the general atmosphere of the day.

Within the same week, student representatives worked with teachers in inviting perspective families for 2025 enrolments at the Open Night. Students interacted with potential student families by sharing about our school's philosophy and the way in which our subjects work. Students along with teachers ran small interactive activities that encompassed what that subject is about.

On April 25th our School Captains attended the ANZAC Day dawn service at Watsonia RSL. The School Captains participated in the traditions and rituals involved in this ceremonious day, paying respect on behalf of our school to honour those who had fallen protecting our country and those who are currently serving.

On the 10th of May, student leadership reviewed the Attitudes To School Survey (ATOSS) results and gave feedback on the results and shared if we thought they were accurate. We looked at both the way questions were worded and if they made sense. The feedback we gave has gone to both Brian and the Parents and Friends' council to look at and make changes based on our feedback.

Recently, BSC launched the new and improved Soccer Club. The Soccer Club is used for junior students to meet other students from different year levels, helping merge the year-level gap between senior and junior students. This club helps incentivize exercise and pushes for students to meet their daily exercise requirements. Soccer Club also acts as an alternative path to earn house-points, where performance is correlated with the amount of house points earned.

The leadership team also recently welcomed our new Sports Captain, Alex Puglia, who will from now on provide his perspective on leadership ideas from his Sports background. Alex will help the Sports teachers run new events regarding sports and will help with our next carnival.

Coming up student leadership are working with teachers to run fundraising events and house competitions.

To spread mental health awareness, the school will be participating in and hosting The Push-Up Challenge. Students will do a certain amount of push-ups per day, which correlate with mental health statistics. Ultimately, each student should aim for 3,249 push-ups by the end of the challenge, which refers to the number of suicides committed in 2023.

The House Captains have organized a House Competition Spelling Bee. Students will get the chance to compete within their house and if successful against the other houses. The Spelling Bee is a great way to earn House Points for your House. More information about this event will be released closer to the date.

The Big Freeze is back at BSC. Last year, the school was in the top 5 of all Australian schools for the largest amount of money raised. This year, we are aiming for the top spot. All the donations go towards finding a cure for MND. If you want to donate the link is already out on Compass. Keep an eye out on Compass for more information about the event and participating staff.

If there is an event you want to see at BSC, talk to your PAL leader.

Brad from therapy animals Australia came into unit 1 biology to talk to the students and demonstrate how sniffer dogs get trained and what they can do. Through this he spoke about how the dogs have an amazing sense of smell. We had Radar come in and was able to sniff out real money from fake money. Brad spoke to us about how dogs use concentration gradients and surface area to volume ratio in order for them to achieve their amazing sense of smell.  
Through this students developed an understanding of how the theory we have been learning about can be used in the wider world.
Thank you to Brad and Radar for coming and sharing your knowledge with us and giving up your time and knowledge

Sustainability

Embarking on a mission to cultivate sustainability within their community, the leaders of Bundoora Secondary School embarked on an inspiring journey.
In a concerted effort to champion environmental stewardship, Mill Park Primary School undertook a proactive initiative led by its sustainability leaders. With a steadfast commitment to fostering sustainability awareness within their community, they collaborated with elected officials, engaging in constructive dialogue aimed at tangible action.

Their collective aim was to establish a sustainable ecosystem within the school grounds, featuring a worm farm as a cornerstone element.

Entrepreneurship & Futures

Girls In Physics Breakfast:

 

Students in Years 10 to 12 had the wonderful opportunity to share a table with two or three accomplished women from the fields of physics or engineering. These women were either actively pursuing careers in these fields or were engaged in higher education as undergraduates or postgraduates. The students eagerly took advantage of this chance to ask questions about their career paths and gain insights into what studying at university entails. It was an enriching experience for the students as they engaged with peers from different schools and learned from the diverse experiences of their tablemates. Additionally, they had the privilege of hearing from the esteemed guest speaker, Professor Susan Coppersmith, Head of Physics at the University of New South Wales. As a Sydney Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, the Australian Institute of Physics, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the USA, Professor Coppersmith's expertise and perspective undoubtedly left a lasting impression on the students.

VET Aviation offers an array of exciting opportunities for students to explore. Our students engaged in a friendly competition to showcase their skills. With precision and finesse, they race to capture the perfect 20-meter and 50-meter photos, demonstrating not only their speed but also their creativity and attention to detail.

In partnership with @banyulenillumbiktechschool and as part of Personal Best: Student Start-Up, students embark on weekly offsite journeys to tap into cutting-edge resources like 3D printers, laser cutting equipment, design studios, and podcast and media rooms to make their ideas a reality.
Keep up the fantastic work!

Huge congratulations to all the students who dedicated their time to work experience last week. Your commitment and enthusiasm are truly commendable. Through this experience, you've not only gained valuable knowledge but also invaluable practical skills that will serve you well in the future. A heartfelt thank you to all the businesses that opened their doors and provided these opportunities for growth. Your support is instrumental in shaping the next generation of professionals.

Entry Camp:

At Camp Toolangi, our Entry students jumped into a whirlwind of adventure and learning. Day one kicked off with loads of excitement as they dove into various activities. Come nightfall, they enjoyed camp trivia and a thrilling night walk, promising heaps of laughs and bonding.

Raft making stole the show as students honed their knot-tying skills and let their imaginations run wild, crafting rafts from barrels, planks, and ropes. The goal? Staying afloat! Beyond building rafts, they were building teamwork, leadership, and innovation skills.

And the fun didn't end there. Building bush shelters gave them a taste of independence, making choices and taking charge away from home. Plus, surrounded by nature's beauty, they made new friends and soaked up the outdoors.

Camp Toolangi wasn't just about kicking back; it was about personal growth. Students were encouraged to push their limits, facing challenges head-on in a supportive environment. Every hurdle cleared was a step toward self-discovery and resilience.

A big round of applause to everyone who attended, as well as to all the dedicated staff members who made it happen. Your efforts and enthusiasm truly made Camp Toolangi an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Well done!

 

"My favorite thing was getting to know people more and all the Variety and activities they had.

My favorite activity was high ropes because i got to face my fear and i got to belay and help others.

Camp will contribute to my CQEES by having a positive experience to add and talk passionately about my experiences." - Tobey Year 7

PACE 1/2 Camp:

As students embarked on their 3-day camp adventure, they encountered a journey filled with both mental and physical challenges. With the summit as their goal, they pushed themselves to new heights, surrounded by awe-inspiring natural landscapes that inspired and invigorated. Amidst this breathtaking backdrop, they came together for team-building activities, strengthening bonds and fostering camaraderie. Guided by experienced instructors, they tackled obstacles, not just on the terrain, but within themselves, learning valuable lessons in teamwork, resilience, and personal growth. It was more than just a camp; it was an opportunity for students to discover their strengths, support one another, and create lasting memories.

A huge shoutout to all the students for their hard work and enthusiasm during the camp! And a big thank you to the teachers for their guidance and support throughout the journey. Your dedication truly made this experience unforgettable for everyone involved. Well done, team!

Pre Grad/Grad City experience:

 

Our students eagerly took part in the full-day City Experience Challenge, an immersive event designed to broaden their horizons and foster teamwork. Divided into teams, students embarked on a journey to conquer the alphabet challenge, that led them to explore diverse spaces across Melbourne's CBD.

Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to visit several tertiary institutions and public facilities, gaining valuable insights into different academic and civic environments. Navigating the bustling streets of Melbourne, they not only tackled the challenges at hand but also absorbed the rich cultural tapestry of the city.

The experience provided a unique blend of adventure and learning, encouraging students to engage with their surroundings and collaborate effectively with their teammates. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, each location visited offered a new perspective and expanded their understanding of the vibrant city they call home during their studies.

Urban Agriculture & Environment

In week 2 of this term 20 students and 2 staff participated in BSC's inaugural 'turtle camp', travelling to Cohuna in north-central Victoria. The amazing experience provided participants the opportunity to work with Turtles Australia in a long-running citizen science program which aims to conserve the threatened broad-shelled turtle (Chelodina expansa). The camp was a huge success and we are booked in once again in 2025. Check out the pictures of the camp below!

 

Over the 4 day experience students explored the Gunbower State Forest and Gunbower National Park. The Murray River, Gunbower Creek, and some very special red gum wetlands were highlights for students as they learnt more about this beautiful region of Victoria. We had a fantastic guest speaker from the North-Central Catchment Management Authority who helped students understand the competing demands for water resources in the region and how they work to allocate 'environmental water' to forests to maintain biodiversity and unique habitats.

 

Students had multiple opportunities to learn about the issues facing the river ecosystem and the broad-shelled turtles in particular. Fox predation of turtle nests is a huge issue and the group spent time in key broad-shelled turtle nesting sites surveying and recording the nests raided by foxes. The data collected contributes to a long running project which has helped to ensure efforts to conserve the species are being increased each year.

 

A highlight of the camp was checking a turtle nest that was covered and saved from fox predation 12 months ago on a local dairy farm. The inspection revealed that the baby turtles were ready for release into Gunbower Creek so they were carefully removed and released. Every student on the camp got to release a baby broad-shelled turtle. A once in a lifetime opportunity!

 

It wasn't all about turtles however. We sampled the fish species in Gunbower Creek, observed so many species of native wildlife, and learnt about the indigenous heritage of the region as we discovered numerous scar trees while working in the field.

BSC FARM - Cows Create Careers

Cows Create Careers is a highly popular, free, program that engages and educates young people about careers in the Australian dairy industry careers. Run by the experienced team at Jaydee Events, Cows Create Careers empowers teachers to explore the dairy industry with students from years 5 - 11 in a practical way. Even with limited experience in Agriculture, this program is easy to deliver due to the rigor nature of the program.

High school students build both technical and transferrable skills through raising a calf, undertaking research and projects aligned to the curriculum whilst being introduced to industry advocates who explain the variety of career opportunities in the dairy industry.

 

Our students were lucky enough to be able to participate in this program this term. We got two gorgeous cows for three weeks. Our students were able to feed and care for these cows and delve into the wonderful world of the dairy industry

 

 

 

Design & Creativity

In our VCE Art Making & Exhibiting 1&2 classes, students are getting hands-on with charcoal pencils.
While charcoal brings bold lines and striking contrasts, students are also mastering softening techniques. With gentle strokes and thoughtful blending, they’re uncovering mood and atmosphere within their pieces. Ultimately, these pieces will become integral chapters in the evolving narratives of their folios, inviting viewers to explore and appreciate their artistic journeys.

In our deep learning elective, “New York: A Model Metropolis,” students are engaged in a captivating project where they’re crafting their own interpretations of Art Deco-inspired buildings, drawing inspiration from the iconic architectural elements of the Art Deco era, such as zigzags, chevrons, and sunbursts. They’re encouraged to incorporate additional features like spires and parapets, which not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute to the distinctive skyline of their imagined cityscape. This hands-on activity not only fosters creativity but also deepens understanding of the architectural legacy of one of the world’s most iconic cities. After sketching their designs, students will bring them to life through the tactile process of crafting cardboard models, adding another layer of engagement to their exploration of Art Deco aesthetics.

The 'Make it!' class has been busy over the past few weeks, mastering a variety of cutting-edge tools, including 3D printers, laser cutters, and vinyl cutters. These budding makers have honed their skills by creating a range of impressive projects, such as 3D printed keyrings and cookie cutters, laser-cut images and cubes, and vinyl decals supporting their chosen causes.

 

Now, equipped with their newfound expertise, the students are embarking on an exciting challenge: creating a product for a selected client. We eagerly anticipate the incredible and innovative creations they will produce. Stay tuned to see the fantastic outcomes of their hard work and creativity!

BSC is thrilled to announce the recent upgrade to our virtual reality equipment, now boasting a full set of Meta Quest 2 headsets for classroom use. Our dedicated staff are actively curating a collection of educational applications to enhance student learning through immersive VR experiences.

 

In addition to classroom integration, we are pleased to open our VR space every Friday lunchtime. This gives students the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of virtual reality and experience its many applications.

 

Our "How Can We Build Virtual Reality Experiences" class has been hard at work, successfully creating 360-degree videos that are now accessible on each headset. Currently, these talented students are also developing an exciting VR game, showcasing their creativity and technical skills.

 

Stay tuned for more updates on our VR initiatives and the incredible projects our students are working on!
