We need a Year 7-12 Secondary School for Ocean Grove

The issue

It is vital for the Ocean Grove Bellarine Secondary College Campus to expand to offer years 7 to 12. Now is the time to use your voice as part of our community to make this happen. Please sign this petition. 

With funding for schools coming from both Federal and State Government, if this is something our community wants, it will take the community to make it happen. We can’t wait and hope for one political party to help us. We need to take the cause to them. If you would like more information on how Public, Catholic and Private schools are funded please visit the clear and helpful information located here: https://www.education.gov.au/download/3774/how-are-schools-funded-australia/26806/how-are-schools-funded-australia/pdf

Choice is available to the richest of communities, and when it comes to choice of public secondary schools on the Bellarine, we have none. For many reasons some parents choose schools in Geelong. Imagine the opportunity to send your child to an outstanding Years 7 to 12 campus in Ocean Grove. The fact is that the location of the Ocean Grove campus has the ability to attract quality teachers. The extensive grounds are already there. We have the opportunity to provide a fantastic public secondary school for all our local children and we are prepared to back this until it becomes reality.

We ask for your support by simply signing this petition. Perhaps it doesn’t apply to you directly (no children, children attending private school etc.), but you know someone it will help. Perhaps knowing it will help future generations in our community is all you need to add your name to this community cause. We simply ask, for the benefit of so many in the community, please sign this petition.
