Beaconhills College is a co-educational, ecumenical, independent school providing education from early learning to preparatory to year 12. The college has three campuses. Little Beacons Learning Centre and the Valley Campus located in Pakenham and the Village Campus is situated in Berwick, Victoria, Australia. Beaconhills was established in 1982 by the Anglican and Uniting Churches to serve the education needs of the Christian community in the greater Pakenham area. The College celebrated its silver jubilee in 2007. The idea to establish a local, independent, Christian school was conceived by a group of parishioners at St. John's Anglican Church in Upper Beaconsfield in 1980. By March 1981 a Steering Committee had been established with Mr John McConchie appointed as Chairperson. The Steering Committee called a public meeting at the Pakenham Hall on 11 March 1981 where the proposal to establish an ecumenical, co-educational, low-fee secondary school was ratified in the presence of some 250 people.
