Description provided by the school:
Bendigo Senior Secondary College (BSSC) is a Year 11 and 12 college located in one of Victoria's strongest and fastest growing regional areas. With over 1700 students, it is the largest provider of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VET) in the state.
Our ROLE at BSSC is to empower learners for individual, community and global leadership and we value Respect, Optimism, Learning and Environment.
The college provides an adult environment where sound work ethics, self-discipline and independent learning skills are fostered. Staff are committed to the academic progress and wellbeing of students, and all students are encouraged to interact closely with their teachers and seek help at any time.
The strength of the college is built upon the expertise and commitment of its staff. Teachers at BSSC play a leading role in state wide curriculum development, subject associations, VCAA assessment processes and in leading the learning of teachers across the state. Teachers and school leaders are expected to demonstrate the highest professional standards and a commitment to excellence.
The college is committed to assisting students in the transition to the next stage of their lives, whether that is to further study, training or employment. Extensive careers and pathways advice is available to students and is complemented by the individual support provided through the college Pathway Advisor Program.
NETschool is an extension to the college program, providing curriculum access for 15 to 18 year old students who have been outside mainstream schooling or training. NETschool provides both online and campus delivery of VCE, VCAL and VET units.
The college has an international reputation for high level use of ICT and delivery of online learning. A number of options for online and self directed or blended learning options are available to support the individual learning preferences of our students. All students have high level access to ICT, including computers, interactive whiteboards, PDAs, mobile phone technology, iPods, and a well resourced Multimedia Centre and Library. Students are provided with online access to course material, assessment tasks, structured support, useful resources, teacher feedback and are able to submit and access work online.
One of the features of the college for many years has been the presence of students from other countries, including many from China, who come to study as fee paying students or through exchange programs. These students are supported in homestay arrangements with local families which provide an in-depth cultural and language experience for everyone concerned.
