Brighton Secondary College

Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (09:50): This morning I unfortunately cannot be at the high achievers assembly and morning tea being held almost as we speak at Brighton Secondary College to celebrate the achievements of their students who have been studying units 3 and 4 and those who have received ATARs of above 90. I want to commend the students and the staff at Brighton Secondary College, who are working tirelessly to uphold the high standards of education that the students at the school have received. This is reflected in their excellent VCE results and tertiary entrance offers, which are consistently above the state average.

Late last year I had the pleasure of attending their presentation night to celebrate the achievements of the students in years 7 to 11, and the future is definitely bright. Then later in the year I visited with the member for Bentleigh to announce some new facilities to be built at the school as part of the Labor government’s Inclusive Schools Fund. The school will be receiving nearly $300,000 to create a new outdoor multipurpose space with special sensory areas where students can learn, connect and develop. Brighton Secondary is an excellent school with excellent academic results and improving facilities and has a very bright future indeed.
