From the Principal

Welcome to the 2025 school year.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new and returning families and staff to BMG. It has been wonderful to see so many smiling faces pass through the gates at both our Maddingley and Woodlea campuses over the past few weeks. A new year is always an exciting time, filled with fresh beginnings and new challenges.

This is a particularly special year for the school with the transition of Mr Andrew Neal into his CEO role and my appointment as the next Principal. I am extremely excited for this opportunity to serve the community and to continue to build upon the school’s strong foundations while also embracing new growth opportunities.

This year will be one of continuity. Our values, our traditions and our shared commitment to excellence remain the same. The school remains focused on delivering high-quality education, maintaining high standards, and ensuring consistency in our approach. Our expectations, our dedication to student success, and our focus on strong teaching and learning will continue to drive our school forward.

This week’s Commencement Ceremonies at each campus welcomed our 2025 School Captains and Prefects. I congratulate all students on their appointment and look forward to working alongside them throughout the year.

With our Woodlea campus expanding to Year 11 for the first time, there is a lot to be excited about. With our new STEM building and library now finished, our senior students have fabulous facilities at their fingertips to further support their studies.

‘Education for life’ continues to be at the heart of everything we do. All students are encouraged to immerse themselves into the life of the school and embrace the opportunities that are made available to them.

This year, we are excited to introduce Chartwells as our new school catering and canteen provider. Committed to delivering fresh, nutritious, and high-quality meals, they will offer a diverse menu that caters to a range of dietary needs while ensuring students have delicious and balanced food options.

Education is a partnership, and we encourage communication between parents and the school. Parents are encouraged to contact their child/s classroom teacher or tutor group teacher as their first point of contact with any questions that may arise throughout the year.

Thank you for being part of our school community and I look forward to the year ahead.

Mrs Debra Ogston – Principal

From the CEO

I am writing to the School Community to inform you of the passing of Peter O’Day after battling several years of illness.

Peter may truly be regarded as one of the founders of this school. He was one of the original parents who came together with a desire for greater choice in education in the outer West of Melbourne. He was the School Board Chair during a difficult period and a tireless worker to obtain appropriate Government funding for this school. He provided wonderful encouragement and support to me as Principal, as well as my predecessor Baxter Holly, It is reasonable to say that without his efforts, this school would not exist.

Peter never left you guessing what he thought and was enormous fun. That directness, mixed with a wonderful sense of humour and a keen pragmatism, were exactly the characteristics required to get a young school off the ground. Peter loved life and this school; there were few rooms that he did not brighten. Bacchus Marsh Grammar will miss him.

Our thoughts, at this time, are with Peter’s wife Liz who was this school’s Deputy Principal, for almost a quarter of a century. Peter and Liz’s children (Kelly, Paul, Mark, Michael and Christie), their children and partners, all have some relationship with the school.

Mr Andrew Neal – CEO

10 Year Partnership BMG and Fed Uni WestVic Academy of Sport

In 2014 Bacchus Marsh Grammar entered into an exciting partnership with the Federation University WestVic Academy of Sport. This partnership, born some 10 years ago, has gone from strength to strength providing selected BMG Elite Sports Athletes the opportunity to gain scholarships to the Fed Uni WestVic Academy of Sport, the regional “arm” of the Victorian Institute of Sport. This partnership has allowed our athletes to receive;

  • Specific Strength and Conditioning coaching from WestVic Academy staff
  • Muscular Skeletal Screening
  • Specialised Program support in the areas of careers, nutrition, social media, sponsorship and wellness

Over this 10 year period, the partnership has provided support that has seen Bacchus Marsh Grammar athletes win Commonwealth Games Medals, International, National and State Titles, gain selection to National and State Teams, be awarded scholarships to NCAA Universities in the USA, and win the prestigious Fed Uni WestVic Academy Athlete of the Year Award by Graeme Frislie. Bacchus Marsh Grammar is also extremely proud to acknowledge that the current CEO of the WestVic Academy of Sport is one of the initial Bacchus Marsh Grammar inductees, Shenae Keleher, who represented Australia in Tae Kwon Do. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Fed Uni WestVic Academy of Sport for their valued partnership and look forward to many more years of success and support in the future

New Playground Equipment

Play is essential for young students, supporting their physical, social, and cognitive development. Playground equipment encourages active play, helping children build strength, coordination, and confidence while fostering teamwork and creativity. The exciting new additions to the BMG playgrounds at both Maddingley and Woodlea have been warmly welcomed, with students eagerly exploring and enjoying the equipment with great joy. It’s wonderful to see them engaging in active play, developing friendships, and making the most of these new opportunities.

Building CASTLEs at BMG: Supporting Wellbeing and Learning in the Junior School

At Bacchus Marsh Grammar, we are committed to fostering a positive and supportive environment where all students feel safe, valued and ready to learn. To reinforce this, we have introduced CASTLE, which stands for:

Calm
And
Structured
Teaching and
Learning
Environment

CASTLE builds on our school virtues and values education, helping students understand the importance of respect, responsibility and kindness in their daily interactions. It encourages calm and structured classrooms, where clear expectations, consistency and positive relationships create the best environment for learning and personal growth.

By building CASTLEs, we emphasise the importance of student wellbeing alongside academic success. A calm and predict

 

able learning environment helps students feel secure, allowing them to take risks in their learning, develop resilience and build confidence. Teachers actively model and reinforce these principles, guiding students to manage emotions, collaborate effectively and contribute positively to our school community.

CASTLE is embedded in everyday teaching and interactions; from the way lessons are structured, to the way students are supported in their social and emotional development. It reflects our belief that a well-ordered and nurturing environment empowers students to thrive both academically and personally.

As we build our CASTLEs this year, we look forward to seeing our students flourish in a school culture that prioritises wellbeing, fosters respect and sets high expectations for all.

Prep

What a fabulous start to our learning journey in Prep at Bacchus Marsh Grammar Maddingley Campus! The students have settled in nicely and the learning has certainly begun. The children have embraced their new routines with enthusiasm, forming friendships, exploring their classrooms and engaging in a variety of engaging learning experiences. From developing early literacy and numeracy skills to participating in Science, History and Geography, and Sport lessons, our Prep students are already demonstrating curiosity and a love for learning. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow each day as they navigate their new environment, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead filled with discovery, growth and plenty of fun!

Don’t forget our Meet the Teacher and Reading Information Session coming up next week on Tuesday the 18th commencing at 3:30pm. This is a great opportunity to meet your teacher and get an insight into your child’s classroom. You will also learn all about how we teach your child to read and how you can support your child at home.

Mrs Kylie McKerrow – Head of Year Prep

Junior School Science

This term, students across Prep to Year 4 have been exploring key biological science concepts through hands-on activities and investigations.

Prep students have been learning about the basic needs of animals and plants, such as food, water and air.

Year 1 students have been investigating the differences between living and non-living things and identifying what living organisms need to survive.

Year 2 students embarked on an exciting journey through the human body, exploring how food provides energy. They traced the journey of food through the digestive system and examined the importance of a balanced diet.

Year 3 students have been focusing on life cycles, traits and variations in living organisms. They have been creating life cycle diagrams, studying scientific samples and experimenting with environmental effects on plant growth.

Year 4 students have been investigating the structure and function of living things and have earnt their Lab Licences. They used microscopes to study plant cells and conducted experiments on how celery transports water and nutrients.

Congratulations Anthony!

Woodlea

Congratulations to Ishaan Menghani and his father Amit on their Nomination!

We are proud to share that Ishaan and his father Amit, were nominated for the Young Australian and Australian of the Year awards. While Ishaan’s application didn’t progress to the State selection, he received encouragement to continue developing his life skills. This is a fantastic achievement, and we congratulate them both on this well-deserved recognition!

Mrs Sally Savic – Head of Junior School Woodlea

Year 3 Woodlea

The Year 3 Woodlea students have settled well into the new school year, forming positive connections with their peers and teachers. They have shown enthusiasm for learning, actively participating in class discussions and hands-on activities. With strong classroom routines in place, students are developing independence and responsibility in their daily tasks.
We are excited to share with you that our young Year 3 scientists have just begun their journey into the world of Science at BMG and received their first Science booklet for the year. This term, they will focus on Biological Science and learn what makes something living, non-living and once living.

Zara Vaaulu-Andrews – Head of Year 3 Woodlea

Year 4 Science

In Term 1, our curious Year 4 students have officially embarked on their laboratory adventures, discovering the wonders and features of our school labs.

Our budding biologists will be investigating how living things depend on each other for survival, while also learning how to work safely with materials and equipment. Through engaging activities, we are introducing essential safety practices—because great scientists always put safety first!

By learning and practising safety skills, our young scientists are developing responsibility, teamwork and confidence in the laboratory—key skills that will support them as they explore the interconnectedness of nature. Understanding food chains and ecosystems helps students appreciate the delicate balance of life!

How You Can Support at Home

Ask your child about their safety rules in their science booklets and encourage discussions about food chains in nature. You might even set up a simple “backyard ecosystem” observation, watching how insects, plants and birds interact, and have them explain the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers!
We can’t wait to see our Year 4 biologists explore, experiment and uncover the secrets of nature—all while staying safe! Stay tuned for updates on their amazing discoveries!

Woodlea Year 7 Camp

What a start to the 2025 school year for our Year 7 cohort! Bright-eyed and bushy tailed, the Woodlea students boarded buses to head down to Anglesea on Monday 10th February. After many questions of “Are we there yet?” we finally arrived and started by setting up tents, organising cabins and preparing for an afternoon of activities.

Students were pushed out of their comfort zones, hiking to the water-based activities while other groups remained at camp to enjoy mountain bike riding and team initiative activities. Our nights saw students cooking their own dinner, some for the first time ever, and staff members were impressed with a variety of food including some clever students who made s’mores for dessert.

A camp at the beginning of the year brings with it the opportunity for students to form strong friendships within their Tutor Group, for our Tutor Group teachers to build connections with their students and to step out and find joy in the outdoor environment.

“Camp was really fun as I went out of my comfort zone. My friends made sure that my birthday was one of my best! I’m excited for camp again next year.”
Dia 7WA

“My favourite activity at camp was bike riding as we were able to navigate the terrain and socialise while doing physical exercise.”
Ethan 7WB

“Surfing was a cool experience on a hot summer’s day. I’ve made stronger friendships and have learnt more about my friends’ personalities.”
Shashank 7WC

“When we did canoeing it was really fun to see the fish in the water. It was a bit hard to use the paddles to turn and it was funny because we were all screaming at each other.”
Peyton 7WD

“I enjoyed mountain bike riding. It was a little scary at first because sometimes I didn’t know how to control the breaks but later on I started getting used to it.”
Emilie 7WE

“It has been fun to witness nature and be amongst our friends. We can learn more about different activities whilst being away from our parents.”
Noorpal 7WF

 

Maddingley Year 7 Get To Know You Day

Year 7, and school in general, is a journey, as are the relationships we make during this time. Experiences like these must be provided for students to allow them to learn together and bond as a cohort with each other and their teachers.

At the beginning of the 2025 school year, our Year 7 cohort of approximately 260 students visited the Staughton Vale Campus for a “Get to Know You Day”.

Students were able to participate in a variety of activities that promote the importance of culture, belonging and service, which are some of the key principles of Bacchus Marsh Grammar. It was also a terrific opportunity for students to begin settling into Year 7, getting to know their peers and thus laying the foundations for new friendships to form.

One of the activities that students enjoyed participating in was orienteering, where students worked in groups to find specific locations around Staughton Vale. They also undertook some friendly competition in a round of disc golf and succeeded in completing numerous initiative games with their classmates. Yabbying was another highlight for many students. They caught quite a few yabbies, some being quite large, and all of which were returned to the dam unharmed.

A huge thank you must go to Ms McMahon, as well as all the Staughton Vale and camp/co-curricular staff for organising and assisting in running the activities.

Mr Matthew LaFranchi – Head of Year 7

STUDENT WELLBEING

Read Time: ( words)

Bacchus Marsh Grammar is excited to offer the C’YA! (Conquering Your Anxiety) Program which is a school-based program to support students in Years 3 to 12. The C’YA! Program, which will be offered to students in Term 2, will focus on understanding feelings of anxiety, identifying body signals and exploring strategies to assist in managing these feelings. C’YA! is a six-session program which will be run in small groups during class time, facilitated by a staff member from the Student Wellbeing Team.

Anxiety is a normal and natural emotion; however, anxiety can be a problem when it interferes with your child’s everyday life. Anxiety can present at school in many ways. If you have a child who is in Year 3 to 12 whose daily functioning is being impacted by their experience of anxiety and feel they would benefit from participating in this program, please register your interest by contacting a member of our Student Wellbeing Team by Wednesday 26 February.

Starting the New School Year

Starting the new school year can bring lots of emotions to the forefront for both students and parents. Whether your child is returning to school, is new to the school, or if your family is just beginning the school journey, it can be a time that raises a range of feelings. It is important to remember that it is okay to feel nervous and a little daunted by what the school year might bring. It may take a few weeks to find a routine and feel comfortable. It is important to encourage your child to take care of themselves by getting a good amount of sleep, exercise and eating nutritious foods. It will help your child if they try to approach their day with an open mind, be prepared to try new things and talk to classmates who they do not know….yet! Make time to set a routine that includes time for homework and study which will help your child feel more prepared and organised for the next day.

STAUGHTON VALE

Read Time: ( words)

With the summer entering its peak for harvesting, the team at Staughton Vale have been busy preparing the Market Garden and Kitchen Garden for another academic year of student activities. From sunflowers to tomatoes, peas to pumpkins, we are due for a bumper crop. Throughout the forthcoming year, students will have the opportunity to benefit from accessing the produce in and from the Market and Kitchen Gardens, and thereby developing their understanding of the “Feed 2 Seed” concept with our onsite team and campus staff.

In addition, students may notice the recent addition of an Aquaponics installation in the hayshed. For the first time, students will be able to see Rainbow and Brown Trout in both the hayshed and the large dam, with programs for learning about these being delivered.

The Campus also now boasts a Volcanic Plains audio trail, in addition to the Bush Tucker, Farm and Medicinal Trail already installed. Later in the year, we will be continuing our commitment to Landcare through targeted revegetation during the National Tree Planting Week, and we will have further updates on the installation of the Observatory at the top of the property.

In 2024 we had 11,000 individual student visits, and with so much more to see and do at the Farm Campus, we look forward to another amazing year of student experience!!!

Conveyance Allowance

If you would like to apply for the Conveyance Allowance in 2025 as a first-time applicant, please see below:

The Conveyance Allowance is a contribution towards transport costs and is not intended to cover the full cost of transporting children to and from school.

The Conveyance Allowance may be available to students attending government or non-government schools:

  • travelling by public transport or by private car, motorbike, bicycle or bus, and
  • whose nearest school is not serviced by a free school bus provided under the School Bus Program

Eligibility Criteria:

  1. Students must reside 4.8km or more from their nearest school/campus they attend.
  2. Students must be of school age and reside in Victoria
  3. Students must be enrolled in a school for 3 or more days per week.

A student who meets the above requirements may be eligible if they:

  • attend their nearest or designated neighbourhood government school/campus appropriate to their year level, at which admission is permissible, or
  • attend their nearest appropriate non-government school/campus appropriate to their year level, at which admission is permissible, and
  • reside 4.8km or more by the shortest practicable route from the campus attended.

Note: Eligibility is assessed when the school completes your child’s application on the Student Conveyance Allowance System (SCAS). If approved, the allowance payable is based on the one-way distance to make the journey to and from school.

If your decision to send your children to Bacchus Marsh Grammar was because you felt that it was the nearest appropriate school that both respected ecumenical values but did not require your child to participate in religious instruction or religious celebration; then you may (subject to other Conveyance Allowance rules) be eligible for the Conveyance Allowance.

If this statement applies to you and you would like to submit a Conveyance Allowance application, please complete the appropriate Conveyance Allowance Application Form (available from the school’s website under the Admissions tab in Transport & Bus Network). If your child is not attending their nearest non-government school your application must include a signed supporting letter outlining the reasons above for your decision to send your child to Bacchus Marsh Grammar.

Please be aware that no allowance is payable if the journey to and from school could be made using a free bus service.

If you already have a Conveyance Allowance application in place and your circumstances have not changed (method of transport to and from school or home address) you will not be required to submit a new application, and your previously approved applications will automatically roll over. However, if you have additional children starting at the school and would like to apply for them you will need to submit a new application.

Please direct any queries you may have to Nicole Tandy at conveyance@bmg.vic.edu.au
