Statement of Commitment to Child Safety
Bayside Christian College is a child safe organisation that is committed to providing Environments where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard about decisions that affect their lives. The College’s child-safe policies, strategies and practices are inclusive of the needs of all children and students.
The College has zero tolerance for Child Abuse and takes proactive steps to identify and manage any risks of harm to students in the College Environments.
Child safety is a shared responsibility. Every person who works at or with the College has an important role in promoting child safety and wellbeing and promptly raising any issues or concerns about a child’s safety.
Statement of Commitment to Democratic Principles
Bayside Christian College affirms its commitment to the principles and practice of Australian democracy in line with the Victorian minimum standards for school registration. We support and promote these principles in our programs and teaching, including:
- Elected government;
- The rule of law;
- Equal rights for all before the law;
- Freedom of religion;
- Freedom of speech and association; and
- The values of openness and tolerance
Furthermore, the College fully supports the government’s recognition of freedom for faith-based schools to actively teach and model the beliefs and practices of Christian faith, as well as to employ staff who actively live out their faith and contribute to a Christ-centred environment.
