Pathway to Health Industry Partnership

Bundoora Secondary College leads the way in the Health and Community Services.
The College has a strong focus on the Community Services and Health Industry which continues to be a growth employment area in this district.
Through partnerships with both ACU and Latrobe Universities and Melbourne Polytechnic Greensborough, Bundoora Secondary College is able to offer to their senior students entry into the health industry via the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector while the student is still at school and completing either the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). Early completion of two units of the Health Sciences Bachelor Degree give participating students both a contribution to their ATAR score and two credits from the bachelor degree should they choose to study at university in this pathway.

Extra Curricular Activities

Students at Bundoora Secondary College are encouraged to participate in sporting programs, drama and music performances, instrumental music, excursions, College camps, art exhibitions and displays and the Student Representative Council.

However uniquely at BSC many of these exciting programs can now be experienced through the main curriculum program rather than add ons throughout the year.

School Community

The College actively involves its community in the development of its educational programs, policies and the provision of a supportive and caring environment.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to participate in College activities and to work with teachers in developing positive educational outcomes for their children.

This involvement is reflected in the teams and welfare structures that are available to assist students and parents.
