Northern Star Chess Secondary Open Regional

On Tuesday 8 September, eight students from Years 8 to 12 were selected to represent Bacchus Marsh Grammar at the Northern Star Secondary Regional Final, held at Werribee Secondary College. Our students proudly represented the school, competing across multiple rounds against 24 schools from across the region.

Throughout the day, the students demonstrated excellent critical thinking, concentration and sportsmanship. Their efforts contributed to an outstanding 4th place overall finish for Bacchus Marsh Grammar.

Congratulations to Cherish V of 11I, who finished in 2nd place in his age category and achieved an excellent score.

All students are to be commended for their effort, teamwork and positive attitude throughout the competition.

A special thank you to the event organisers at Northern Star Chess, as well as all staff involved for supporting our students throughout the day.

Woodlea

Japanese Language Assistant

The Woodlea Campus had the privilege of hosting a Japanese language assistant, Miina Takeshita from Kyoto, for four weeks during August as part of the Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language Assistant Program (TJFL).

Miina brought her bubbly and cheerful personality to Japanese language classes, enhancing classroom learning by providing authentic language experiences to students from Years 5 to 12. It was wonderful to see our senior students studying Japanese making the most of every opportunity to develop their speaking skills by conversing with Miina.

I would like to thank Mr Daniel Screen and his family for providing a warm and welcoming home environment for Miina during her four-week stay.

Community Service – 2026 National Finals Qualifiers

Have you ever seen a problem and wished someone would do something about it? Community Service at BMG is built on the belief that each of us has the ability to be that someone. Every positive change begins with a person who is willing to step forward, take action, and work with others to make a difference.

Through a diverse range of projects, we strive to create outcomes that have enduring impact, enriching, not only our own lives, but also the lives of those around us. These initiatives are driven by a genuine desire to make a difference, and your support can help transform innovative ideas into meaningful and lasting community change.

An important aspect of our work is sharing our ideas and solutions on a national stage through our involvement with the Future Problem-Solving Australia Program. This provides our students with the opportunity to contribute to a broader movement dedicated to strengthening communities across Australia and beyond.

We are incredibly proud that our Community Service projects were recognised at the national level in both 2024 and 2025, enabling us to represent BMG with distinction while demonstrating our commitment to service, innovation and positive change.

This year, we are especially excited to have three teams representing Victoria at the 2026 National Finals in October. They are Project Trash is Art, Project Privacy and Project Act Against Extinction. Congratulations to the students in the project teams on achieving a place on the national team representing Victoria!
