Bendigo Education Plan (BEP)
BENDIGO EDUCATION PLAN
The Bendigo Education Plan 2018 (BEP) is a collaboration between the Department of Education (DE) and a range of local community organisations. The development of the plan was facilitated by DE throughout 2017-18 via a steering group with broad representation from community organisations across the City of Greater Bendigo. Bendigo’s community contributed to the BEP through online and face-to-face consultations during 2017.
The BEP 2018 follows the BEP 2005. This plan focused on re-invigorating secondary education in Bendigo through the rebuilding of four junior secondary schools and through a focus on flexible, personalised and differentiated approaches to teaching and
learning.
The BEP was reviewed in 2022 BEP guided by the following narrative:
Learners in Bendigo can say I attend and like school, it supports me to learn, my family supports my attendance and participation, I succeed in learning, my pathways choices are informed, and I am equipped to succeed in life.
Themes were agreed to guide the review:
• A learning and education culture across school, family, community, industry.
• Aspiration and knowledge about careers, occupations and education pathways.
• Enhance student (young persons’) voice and agency.
The review involved significant consultation with a range of community stakeholders and in-depth analysis of relevant data sets about students’ attendance, disengagement and learning and wellbeing outcomes.
A SHARED VISION AND OBJECTIVES
The vision of the BEP is to see: all children and young people in Bendigo will become successful learners and resilient individuals who strive for excellence and who have the skills, knowledge and capabilities they need to lead active, satisfying and productive lives.
