ABOUT BRIGHTON SECONDARY COLLEGE

Welcome to Brighton Secondary College. 

Located in Melbourne’s beautiful bayside, Brighton Secondary College is a co-educational government school catering to over 900 students from years 7-12. Established in 1955, the college has a proud history of serving the Brighton community, honouring the past whilst evolving to meet the educational needs of our local families today.

Founded in a warm and supportive local community, Brighton Secondary College is a vibrant learning environment offering something for everyone. Whatever our students’ strengths, our college aims to provide a platform for them to engage, explore and excel. High performance sports opportunities, extensive arts programs and academic extension within our SEAL curriculum mean students can find their passion and build their capabilities across a range of fields. Camps and tours open our students’ eyes to the world beyond our city, and through our thriving international program we are proud to welcome students from around the globe into our community. Our student leadership program encourages students to recognise and incorporate leadership actions and opportunities into their daily lives, and helps them to drive change within the college and the wider community.

Our college values reflect what matters to us, as well as the attributes that our students will need to grow into balanced, successful citizens. Within a learning environment that is ‘low threat, high challenge’, our students are supported to try hard and aim high, and this is reflected in the outstanding results our students consistently achieve. Alongside their academic success, our focus is on the development of well-rounded, hardworking, positive and resilient young people, who understand that hard work, grit and collaboration are key to their success and who contribute thoughtfully and with integrity to the world around them.

In 2024 our college is undergoing a period of renewal, looking to the future and reimagining the potential and possibilities for our students, our staff and our families. I’m delighted to be leading our community into that future, founded on supportive relationships, strong community connections, high expectations and a shared ambition to be our best.

I warmly invite you to join us on our journey and discover all that BSC has to offer your family.
