Mean Girls - The Arts Drama Production 2025

It’s hard to believe we’re already at the end of Term 3 – and what a busy, exciting term it’s been!

This term saw our Arts department shine, with a trio of incredible events: the Drama Production, Music Showcase, and the fantastic Dance Showcase. Each performance was a testament to the talent, dedication, and creativity of our students and staff. Thank you to all involved for bringing ‘The Arts’ to life at the College.

We also had a fantastic time during Book Week, with students and staff dressing up as Where’s Wally characters and enjoying our very own photo booth experience. It was a fun and creative way to celebrate reading and storytelling across the College. A big thank you to Mrs Baker and the English team for their efforts.

In addition, we celebrated Science Week, Numeracy Week, and Wear It Purple Day – all of which provided engaging activities for our students while promoting learning, inclusion, and school spirit.  Thank you to Mrs Bilbie, Mr Singh, and Mrs Hastings for their leadership and enthusiasm.

Our Workplace Learning students completed their placements this term, gaining valuable insights and experience across a range of industries. These opportunities are vital in helping students explore career pathways, and we thank Mr Smith and our partner organisations for their ongoing support.

A huge congratulations to our H2GP team, who represented Belridge Secondary College at this year’s World Grand Finals in Germany. Finishing 4th in the Girls STEM race was a fantastic achievement. Their commitment and performance were truly inspiring, and we are incredibly proud of their efforts. Thank you to Mr Chen and Ms Endersbee for their leadership of the event.

We wrapped up the term with our Athletics Carnival, a wonderful celebration of school spirit, sportsmanship, and fun. There were some fantastic displays of athleticism and skill, with records being broken in many events. A standout moment was the largest Macarena line in Belridge Secondary College history – a joyful sight that captured the energy and unity of our students and staff. Congratulations to team Marlins, who took out the Champion House on the day. A huge thank you to Mr Bennett, Mr Spinks, and the HPE team for making the day such a success.

I’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Health & Wellbeing team for their work around R U OK? Day and the week’s activities. These events continue to foster a culture of care and connection within our school.

Planning is now underway for our upcoming Open Board Meeting on Monday, 3 November 2025, and I encourage families to attend. Your input helps shape the direction of our College, and your voice is a valued part of our improvement journey. See website for full details and to register your place.  

Looking ahead, our Year 12 students are preparing for their final chapter at Belridge Secondary College. General Year 12's will finish at the end of this term, while ATAR students commence exams on Thursday, 16 October 2025. We will be celebrating their journey with a Graduation Breakfast and Farewell Assembly on Friday, 17 October 2025. Parents and carers are warmly invited to join us in marking this important milestone.

Wishing everyone a safe, restful holiday break. We look forward to welcoming you back on Monday, 13 October 2025 for another action-packed term.

Warm regards

Mrs Sharon Lyon
Principal - Belridge Secondary College
