Beaconhills College 2024

Welcome!
Beaconhills College will proudly host two separate Relay for Life events in 2024, at the Pakenham Campus on Friday 6 September and the Berwick Campus on Friday 13 September.
Relay For Life is a fun and moving experience that raises vital funds for the Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services.
The Beaconhills College community continue to provide impactful contributions to this worthy cause and has raised more than $350,000 to date.
All Beaconhills students will participate by walking laps throughout the school day in the Human Movement Centre at the Pakenham Campus and the Jenny Williams Centre for Human Movement at the Berwick Campus.
We warmly invite our Little Beacons community to also participate alongside Junior School students between 9-11am.
The participation schedule for the day is featured under the 'Program' section below. Families, friends and alumni are also invited to take part.
