Bespoke Pathways Facilitating Excellence

At Bayswater Secondary College we pride ourselves on our ability to offer a wide range of Senior pathway options in a small setting where, through a rigorous course counselling process, we work with students and their families to create a bespoke Senior School pathway, enabling all students to achieve success throughout and beyond their Senior Secondary School years.

2023 will see a number of changes to the Senior School program, with the introduction of the new Senior School certificate, consisting of the VCE and the VCE Vocational Major.
