Brighton Secondary College

Learning extends far beyond the classroom! 🌏⚖️

Our students have recently taken part in a range of exciting incursions and excursions across Sports, Humanities and Legal Studies, providing valuable opportunities to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.

From exploring new perspectives and engaging with experts, to developing teamwork, critical thinking and practical skills, these experiences enrich our students’ education and create memorable moments that inspire curiosity and growth.

It has been fantastic to see our students embrace these opportunities with enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn ✨

Celebrating our BSC Debating Success! 👏🎤⁠

Over the course of the semester, students from Years 9-12 represented Brighton Secondary College in the DAV Senior Debating Competition, taking on schools from across the Brighton region through five challenging rounds of competition.⁠

We are incredibly proud of every student who stepped up to debate. Whether they were a regular team member, a first-time speaker, or a fill-in supporting their peers, everyone's confidence, teamwork and commitment have been fantastic to see.⁠
⁠
A special congratulations to our Year 12 debating team – Jenny, Zoe, Alex and Aarav – who achieved an outstanding result, finishing 1st in their division with a perfect record of 20 points! Despite three team members competing against students several years above them, they showed exceptional skill and composure and will now progress to finals against division winners from across Victoria next month.⁠
⁠
Our Year 11 teams also performed strongly, finishing 5th and 8th in a league of 20 schools, while our Year 9 and 10 team impressed with their dedication and growth, with many students experiencing competitive debating for the first time.⁠

Congratulations to Year 12 student Lauren on another incredible aerial acrobatics performance in Eternity at the Gasworks Theatre! 🌟

Eternity is a rock and metal circus showcase featuring talented artists from across Australia, with breathtaking aerial acrobatics, dance and contortion performances.

Reflecting on the experience, Lauren shared:

“This was my third time performing in Eternity, so I was very happy to be asked to perform again. I didn’t have a lot of time to rehearse my act this year, but I luckily managed to pull it all together for the show.”

One of the highlights for Lauren was showcasing new skills in front of an enthusiastic audience.

“I was really happy that I was able to put some new skills in my routine, and I always love performing without the pressure of competing.”

We are so proud of your dedication, resilience and passion for the performing arts. Congratulations on another outstanding performance, Lauren!

Celebrating NAIDOC Week at Brighton Secondary College 🖤💛❤️

Our whole school came together today for a special NAIDOC Week assembly, where we were honoured to welcome proud Yankunytjatjara and Wirangu woman Shelley Ware as our guest speaker.

Shelley shared powerful stories and insights about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and forging her career path, leaving our students with plenty to reflect on. Her passion for education and ensuring First Nations perspectives are embedded in learning was both inspiring and thought-provoking.

A huge thank you to Shelley for sharing her knowledge and experiences with our school community, and to everyone who helped make this meaningful celebration possible.
