About Our School
Bairnsdale Christian College is dedicated to teaching students within a loving and caring environment. Our teaching method is grounded within a biblical context, leaning on teaching and wisdom from the Christian worldview.
Bairnsdale Christian College is...
More than a school, it is a community. A community of parents, teachers, grandparents, friends and students. BCC is a learning community focused on helping each child grow and develop to their full potential in every aspect of their lives. We celebrate each child’s uniqueness and desire to help each child develop their own unique gifts and personal qualities.
We believe each child is created to thrive in life and influence the world around them. Just as each child is an individual so is their learning adventure. Bringing their unique mix of passions and skills, each child joins a community of learners and professionals and engage in broad learning opportunities. As BCC learners, we are growing and learning to become knowledgeable, resilient, thinkers, leaders, communicators, problem solvers, creative, compassionate, discerning, risk-takers, responsive and balanced.

CORE VALUES
Bairnsdale Christian College holds to three core values of love, wisdom and integrity. These shared values are woven through everything we do at the College from the Board to the classroom. The values describe how we conduct ourselves within our College community and character qualities that enable students to participate well in adulthood.
Love
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
- 1 Cor 13:13
The love of God, people and the environment is demonstrated in the choice to value each individual; being supportive and encouraging of others' and placing their needs above one's own.
Wisdom
The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. - Prov 19:8
The ability to discern and interpret life from a Biblical perspective, to pursue their personal best, develop Godly character and value others' ideas.
Integrity
In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
- Psalm 41:12
Honouring the Godly principles of honesty, dependability, personal responsibility and developing strong morals.
