Beechworth Secondary College is a welcoming place where all students have the opportunity to achieve their personal best. Students and teachers work collaboratively in an environment of respect, empathy and challenge and aim for continual growth and improvement.

Our Values

Our college values underpin every aspect of our daily work at school. Our values guide our behaviours, support our choices and help us build strong social relationships with each other.

Our college values are embedded within our Positive Behaviour Supports and ARC, our whole school pastoral care program.

We value hard work and effort. We are committed to learning. We set high expectations for ourselves and others.

I will show aspiration by

Arriving on time to class with the expected equipment
Trying my best and attempting all tasks
Maintaining my focus and using my time well
Asking for help when I need it
Meeting deadlines and submitting tasks on time
Having a growth mindset

We build respectful relationships. We respect ourselves and value diversity. We care for the environment.

I will show respect by

Showing gratitude and courtesy
Acting safely and looking out for others
Being mindful of what others need to learn
Allowing others to learn effectively
Listening to, and hearing others
Including others
Valuing others’ differences
Taking care of my own and other people’s belongings

We participate in, and contribute to, the school and wider community. We forge strong connections with our wider community.

I will contribute by

Participating as fully as possible
Fairly dividing labour efforts
Playing my part in maintaining a clean and safe work environment
Actively contributing to activities

Being helpful to others
