Bentleigh Secondary College - Campus

Campus

The college is made up of eight main buildings:

  • A-Block, consisting of about eight classrooms along a long corridor, is one of the oldest buildings in the school. Several of the classrooms have been purpose-built for science lab sessions, while others are for general use. Typically, science and maths classes are held here. Year 9 lockers are housed beside this block.
  • D-Block is used primarily for art, IT and LOTE classes. It also contains year 10 lockers.
  • E-Block consists of several specialty classrooms including the woodwork, textiles and automotive rooms. It also features three general purpose classrooms. This block, which also houses year 7, 11 and 12 lockers, is structurally dependent on the sports stadium.
  • The Administration Block was built in stage one of the college's building program. It consists of offices, conference rooms, a staff room, the sick bay and the library. Only two food technology rooms and the library are used for classes.
  • The Performing Arts Centre was converted in 2006 from the Bertrand-Mitchell Hall (a dual purpose, sports and theatre building). While the same structure was kept, the interior was completely refurbished. The centre was renamed in 2009 to the 'Peter Stevens Performing Arts Centre'. The centre currently boasts a main theatre area, foyer, dance room, drama room, two music classrooms and music practise rooms. Featuring retractable tiered seating, it is also attached to the canteen.
  • The Sports Stadium, informally known by students as "the barcode" due to its prominent design, boasts two sports courts and changerooms. Heavily utilised by sports and P.E. classes, the stadium is also rented to the community, and sports organisations such as basketball teams are based there.
  • The VCE Centre was converted from the former library. It has an open plan style with teachers' desks at the centre, several classrooms, and generous study space. It is used by students, particularly those in year 12, undertaking VCE studies.
  • The Science Block was completed under stage two of the college's building program, and incorporates the college library. Year 8 lockers are located beside this block.
  • The J-Block is where Year 7 lockers are and main classrooms. There are 7 classrooms and all except 3 are joined.

B-Block and C-Block, both chiefly consisting of general purpose classrooms, were demolished under the college's building program. C-Block also had several textiles, food technology and IT rooms.

The college grounds include a sustainable garden, a football oval and soccer pitches.
