CURRICULUM

The senior campus has an excellent VCAL program.
Bayside College has a 1:1 student netbook program.
There are support programs for integration students and other students requiring special education.
Throughout the curriculum students are encouraged and expected to take an active and responsible role in their learning.

There are a range of co-curricular activities organised across the three campuses involving many students: Foundation Day, year level and adventure camps, excursions, debating, drama and band performances.
The annual visit from our `sister' school in Japan (Anjo-Higashi High School), is a highlight, along with our Art and Technology show and school production.
Other programs include our advance programs in surf lifesaving, bike education, wilderness photography, sport, and the Student Representative Council.
Each of these activities provides an opportunity for the College to promote the social, personal and community skills of its students.

The Senior campus ensures that students have a broad range of subject choice and the flexibility for each student to select a program around their individual career aspirations.

This provides students with access to a wide range of courses and the opportunity to combine some tertiary units with the Victorian Certificate of Education.
The provision of VET units by the local cluster of schools, centered at Bayside, encourages students to broaden their options for further study.
The VCE campus provides a positive young adult learning environment, which is supportive and friendly, and appropriate to the needs of VCE students.
