Bendigo Senior Secondary College
- Bendigo Senior Secondary College
Bendigo Senior Secondary College (BSSC) is an Australian state school for Year 11 and Year 12 students in Bendigo, Victoria.
With over 1800 students BSSC is the largest provider of VCE, VET and VCAL in Victoria. There are five state 7-10 colleges in Bendigo - Eaglehawk Secondary College, Flora Hill Secondary College, Golden Square Secondary College, Kangaroo Flat Secondary College and Weeroona College Bendigo. Students from these schools attend Bendigo Senior Secondary College for their final two years of schooling.
In 2006 BSSC held a two day Future Search conference to determine the key ideas for the school's strategic plan.
In 2006 funding was granted for BSSC to develop a Master Plan around the use of the former Bendigo Prison which is located next to the school. This will provide access to additional classrooms and administration areas.
History
The Bendigo Continuation School opened on April 27, 1907 with the aim of preparing students for entry into the public service, teacher training, university or other education. The school incorporated nearby buildings such as the Sandhurst Corporate High School (later St Andrew's College) and eventually the James King Hall and Administration block was built in 1930. The former Bendigo Supreme Court was used to serve as the music rooms when it was obtained in 1959, after the relocation of the Bendigo Girls' High School. Other additions include the Alexander Wing (1967) and the Commonwealth Library (1977).
1975 saw BSSC become a Year 11 and Year 12 school. In 1976 it became Victoria's first senior high school and in 1990 it was renamed as Bendigo Senior Secondary College.
In 1991 a building program was commenced which included the construction of a three storey building for science, technology studies and arts and was in use by 1993. A gymnasium, cafeteria and student common room were also included and in 1995 a plan to upgrade all of the existing buildings was put into action.
