Northern Beaches Secondary College Balgowlah Boys Campus
Balgowlah Boys Campus is at the forefront of successfully educating boys in the new millennium. As a small school of approximately 500 students we have the ideal mix of quality facilities, personalised tuition, small class sizes and cutting edge strategies for maximising boys' performance. Our mission is to produce well-rounded young men equipped with the skills necessary in a technological world. This mission is achieved by challenging boys' attitudes to issues such as dance, music, cooking, public speaking, debating and conflict resolution. At Balgowlah Boys we aim to realise a balance of academic, cultural, sporting and extracurricular achievement. Each student is strongly encouraged to participate in these key areas. In the region our school has an unrivalled history of sporting success. Recent results in NAPLAN, School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate have demonstrated that our school is outstanding within Northern Sydney Region in adding value to student's academic performance. This has been achieved by specialising in boys' education and the use of interactive technologies. There is effective support for international students provided by dedicated ESL teachers. All our students enjoy an opportunity to learn in a caring environment where the level of trust developed with their teachers encourages them to take more responsibility for their learning.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
