Child Safe Responsibilities

Bayside Christian College is committed to the fulfilment of the two greatest Commandments from our Lord:

‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 36-40

The safety and wellbeing of our students is the deepest expression of our response to these Commandments. Children are a truly precious gift from God, and as a Christian school, we have an obligation and calling to not only support and enable their physical and emotional safety, but to develop in them, the learnings and love for our Lord, in support of their spiritual safety.

The College has zero tolerance for child abuse and/ or anything that puts a child’s safety or wellbeing at risk, and is committed to the protection of all children from such behaviours. To this end, the College implements a comprehensive Child Safe Programme across the entire College community:

1. Staff are responsible for understanding and applying the College’s Child Safe policies, contributing positively to a child-safe environment, and being proactive in reporting any concerns or identified risk;

2. Parents are supported in their vital role in raising their child through the educational partnership in which they enter; and

3. Students are encouraged to grow in Christ’s light, to learn how to live with others, and to grow in their understanding and love of Christ.
