Subjects & Careers Expo 2026

Our annual Subjects & Careers Expos are just around the corner, giving Year 8–12 students and their families the opportunity to explore senior subject selections, further study, training and a wide range of career pathways.
The Expos will be held from 4.00pm to 7.00pm on:

Maddingley Campus
Wednesday 29 July 2026
Woodlea Campus
Wednesday 5 August 2026

Across the evening, students and families will have the chance to meet representatives from universities, TAFEs, employers and industry organisations, hear from BMG alumni about their experiences, and speak with teaching staff about senior subject selections and future opportunities.

A range of seminars will also be available, covering different study and career pathways, along with information sessions for students entering Year 9 or Year 11 in 2027.

Full event information, including schedules, seminar registrations, alumni profiles, exhibitors and venue details, is available through the Subjects & Careers Expo Schoolbox News post for your respective Campus.

Families are encouraged to review the program before attending and register for any seminars they would like to join. Places are limited, and sessions with low registrations may not proceed, so early registration is recommended.
We look forward to welcoming students and families on Campus for this exciting event.

Students Reach for the Stars at RMIT Space Academy

During the school holidays, six of our talented students had the exciting opportunity to participate in the RMIT Space Academy Holiday Program, an immersive STEM experience designed to inspire the next generation of space explorers, scientists and engineers.

We were thrilled to have Reyan H, Juliet C, Max F and Omika K join 32 selected “young space adventurers” to form RMIT mission teams. Throughout the program, students used RMIT’s cutting-edge virtual reality technology and completed hands-on challenges including designing spacecraft and planetary habitats, exploring orbital mechanics, navigating missions to distant exoplanets, and managing resources to sustain life on new worlds.

Participants also gained valuable insights through virtual lectures and training sessions with real astronauts, engineers and scientists, providing a glimpse into the exciting future of space exploration.

We were also proud to have Samarjot S.A and Aadi M take part as Student Mentors, sharing their knowledge and supporting fellow participants throughout the academy.

Congratulations to all six students on this incredible achievement. We are proud of the curiosity, leadership and passion for STEM they demonstrated while representing our school.
