Bacchus Marsh Grammar is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious Middle Years’ School of Excellence (MYSOE) by leading Middle Years Education Specialists, Adolescent Success. This recognition places BMG among a select group of schools acknowledged for their outstanding commitment to the education and wellbeing of students across the middle years. It is also the first time that a Victorian school has been acknowledged with this award.
As part of this achievement, BMG will undertake a three-year tenure as a MYSOE school with Adolescent Success. This position will focus on the continued development of our middle years staff through targeted professional learning, mentorship opportunities, and collaboration with leading practitioners in the field. The program is designed to further strengthen our capacity to deliver high-quality, evidence-based middle years education across the school.
The award process was both rigorous and comprehensive. Staff were required to complete a detailed written submission showcasing our programs, curriculum design, and school-wide practices, followed by a formal interview process. Successfully meeting these criteria is a significant accomplishment and reflects the depth of expertise and dedication within our team.
This recognition is a testament to the strength of our middle years’ programs, the quality of our teaching and learning, and our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. Most importantly, it highlights our focus on creating an environment where every student is supported to grow, engage and thrive during these critical years of development.
We look forward to the opportunities this partnership will bring and to continuing to build an exceptional middle years’ experience for all BMG students.
Sarah Hunter – Deputy Principal: Deputy Head of Woodlea Campus & Head of Middle School Education
