Building the Vision
In 1980, a group of pioneering Christian families started an Association with the vision of establishing a Christian school in Frankston to educate their children in a formal environment supportive of their own Christian beliefs. With the help of God, the original families realised their dream in 1982, opening Frankston Christian School with an initial enrolment of 39 students.
Two years later, the school moved to its current site, the place we call home today. In 2017, we established the North Campus just opposite the original site, for Secondary students to flourish.
We are committed to continuing to provide an education committed to our founding purpose.
Our Founding Purposes
Bayside Christian College continues to provide an education committed to its founding purposes, helping parents equip their children for effective, God-glorifying lives as Christians in the world by:
- Leading students into the service of God and of others as a thankful response to the work of God in Christ
- Nurturing in students the development of a Biblical understanding of the world and of life
- Establishing an educational environment characterised by faith, hope, love, joy, peace and service
- Helping students discover and develop their own God-given abilities, and recognise and respect those of others
- Showing students that knowing their strengths and limitations is part of achieving a realistic, positive self-image
- Promoting a striving for excellence in their lives
