Welcome to Bundamba State Secondary College.
Our community of Bundamba is rich in its diversity and commitment and I feel privileged to work with the parents, community members, and staff who provide care for our students. Bundamba State Secondary College was opened in 1970 and has a proud history of academic, sporting and cultural achievement. We currently have an enrolment of 822 students comprising a rich cultural mix with 108 Indigenous students and 86 Pacifica students.
The values identified by Bundamba State Secondary College are qualities we consider to be worthwhile to develop in our College community. They are a reflection of our highest priorities and driving forces. The strength of our College lies in the diversity of cultures represented and the inclusive nature of our curriculum programs. Both staff and students at the College are passionate about preserving and showcasing this diversity through events such as NAIDOC week celebrations, the ANZAC Day ceremony, hosting international exchange visitors, and performing in Bring It On.
In 2009, Bundamba State Secondary College seeks to continue our journey to achieve the best possible outcomes for all of our students. The addition of new facilities and upgrades throughout the school enable us to respond to the needs of our students in a rapidly changing world. Specifically, Bundamba State Secondary College will focus on increasing pathways for students, improving student outcomes, further connecting with our community, and the development of whole college learning engagement systems. 2009 presents a new opportunity for us to again focus our attentions on the need for all of our students to be learning.
Our school motto of “A Community of Confident Achievers” guides our actions. Bundamba State Secondary College has varied curriculum options allowing students to participate in tuition, training, and work experience to maximise individual talents and abilities. Over the years, our graduates continue to be successful in their transition from school to employment, traineeships, apprenticeships, and further education.
Throughout the secondary school years, we encourage parents and caregivers to assist us in the education process by talking to their students about what is happening at school and in their classes. There are many other opportunities to be a partner in your student’s education including P & C meetings, volunteering in many areas throughout the college, and keeping us informed of your student’s needs.
It is with pleasure that I welcome you to our vibrant community. We look forward to the learning journey with you and your student.
Warm Regards,
Kathy Blinks
Principal
