Beechworth Secondary College, a small secondary college with an enrolment around 275, is situated in attractive, spacious grounds, covering four hectares. We completed the first stage of our total replacement program at the end of 2008 and this resulted in new Administration and Arts/Technology Blocks.
Beechworth, with a population of around 3,700, is a progressive community with a lively cultural life. It is close to the two large rural centres of Wangaratta and Albury/Wodonga, yet is not dominated by them. Proud of its modest size and the friendly, personal way in which staff, students and parents work together, the College provides a comprehensive curriculum from Year 7 to Year 12 taught by a talented and dedicated staff.
The strength of the College is attributable in no small measure to the talent and commitment of staff and their rapport with parents and the community. Staff at Beechworth Secondary College are noted for their generous and enthusiastic support for the extensive extra-curricular program, for their general nurturing of students and the strong collegiality amongst colleagues. This year, our Staff and Student Opinion Survey data is well above the state average.
