**PROFILE**

Located in the Inner Gippsland Area of DET¿s South-East Victoria Region, Bass Coast College is a Year 7-12 multi-campus school catering to over 1600 students. The Dudley Campus (Years 7 to 9) and the Wonthaggi Campus (Years 10 to 12) are situated three kilometres apart. A second junior campus (Years 7 to 9) has opened San Remo, and our FLOW Campus in Wonthaggi provides individualised learning programs for students requiring specialised support.

Located in the rapidly growing Bass Coast Shire, the College is immensely proud to be the government secondary education provider for the area. It draws its students from nine feeder schools located in the Bass Coast Shire.

Over half of the student population travel to the school by bus.

The current staffing levels comprises of over 140 teachers and eighty non-teaching staff.

The Flexible Learning Option Wonthaggi (FLOW) Campus of Bass Coast College is an alternative educational setting. FLOW aims to reconnect students who are at risk from disconnecting from education and supports students who may be impacted by a number of factors. This can include mental health, anxiety, complex behaviour regulation issues, neuro diverse students and those who present with complex learning needs. FLOW works to foster positive student emotional health, improve literacy and numeracy skills whilst supporting students to transition back to mainstream school or alternative pathway settings such as TAFE, apprenticeships, or employment. As an alternative education provider, FLOW¿s mission is to connect with and support young people to create individualised learning within a safe, supportive, and caring environment.

The College also continues to develop its enrichment and consolidation programs. Students in Years 10 and 11 have the opportunity to accelerate through the VCE by taking higher-level units than is the norm for their age cohort.
