Bendigo South East College (BSEC) is a secondary school in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.

History

The BSEC occupies a building originally known as the Bendigo Girls' School. That institution had been founded in 1916, originally located in the Quarry Hill neighborhood of Bendigo but moving to the Flora Hill neighborhood in 1959.

In 1974, the school became co-educational, under the name Flora Hill High School, which was later renamed to Flora Hill Secondary College.

In 2008/2009 Flora Hill Secondary College and Golden Square Secondary College combined and was renamed Bendigo South East Secondary College.

As of 2013, the new buildings have been completed. The last of the classrooms from 1959 were demolished in August 2011. Although the main building project has been completed, there are plans to renovate the old hall to render it consistent with the surrounding architecture. Golden Square Secondary College was closed at the end of 2008, and was demolished as of late 2009, the site is currently vacant.
