Bentleigh Secondary College

A group of our Year 10 students collaborated with local schools to tackle eight problem-solving scenarios 🧩 as part of the National Science & Engineering Challenge 🔬⚙️, run by Monash University and the University of Newcastle🎓✨

Last month, our Year 12 students put their chemical detective skills to the test at the School of Chemistry’s Organic Spectroscopy Symposium at Monash University Clayton.

A huge effort from our Senior Girls Footy team competing at Regionals on Tuesday 4 August!

The girls battled through rain, wind and sunshine all in the one day, showing plenty of resilience, teamwork and determination throughout.

A great achievement to make it to Regionals and an awesome effort from the whole team. Well done, girls! 👏🏉

This week, our Unit 2 OES students completed an incredible 3-day outdoor adventure in the beautiful Grampians region of western Victoria. 🍃

Throughout the camp, students challenged themselves with a range of exciting activities, including rock climbing, hiking, abseiling, and bike riding. 🥾🚴‍♀️🧗

Beyond the adventure, students deepened their understanding of flora and fauna adaptations, sustainable outdoor environments, indicators of environmental health, and the importance of healthy outdoor environments.

Yesterday, students from Bentleigh Secondary College put their mathematical skills to the test by competing in the Australian Mathematics Competition! 🧮

Students had 75 minutes to complete 30 challenging problems involving:🔢 Number skills, 📐 Geometry, ➗ Algebra, 📊 Statistics, 🎲 Probability and 🧠 Logic problem-solving

The Australian Mathematics Competition encourages students to think creatively, apply mathematical reasoning, persevere when problems become difficult and enjoy the challenge of mathematics. 💡

We are incredibly proud of every student who volunteered to participate and challenge themselves today. 🌟

Taking part in a competition like this requires courage, concentration, determination and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. 🚀
Congratulations to all our Bentleigh mathematicians! 🥳 We hope you enjoyed the challenge! 🔢✨📐
