welcome to bairnsdale secondary college

Bairnsdale Secondary College remains the largest provider of education in East Gippsland, with a climbing enrolment of approximately 1180 students. The College is taking an increased percentage of students from the local catchment and beyond.

There are three Learning Hubs operating. Wargomerrin is the Year 7 Hub, Wurrin is for Year 8 and 9 and Malgobila is for Years 10, 11 and 12. Each Hub has a wellbeing and student management team.
There are a further 35 VCAL students at the Ngooloo site, an alternative program off-campus.

Approximately half of the student population resides within the township of Bairnsdale, with the remainder travelling from surrounding areas in East Gippsland.

Bairnsdale Secondary College is sited on Gunai-Kurnai land. The College is in partnership with the Clontarf Academy, with a goal of improving participation of Koorie males. We also team with the Smith Family, to provide a Koorie Girls program. A pastoral and health education program has an increasing emphasis. Technology, Humanities, Science, Arts and Sport are prominent across the curriculum and we have a highly respected Instrumental Music Program with
high-level music tuition for students.
 
The College provides the community with an outstanding educational facility and looks forward to working with the community to enhance educational opportunities for students in Bairnsdale and surrounding districts.
