Bayside Christian College offers a seamless education from Kindy to Year 12. We are dedicated to fulfilling the need for holistic (K-12) education in the Bible-informed Christ-centred tradition of servant leadership, in a way that encourages, enables, and supports our students to be the best possible version of themselves. Our aspiration lies in uncovering the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in a community of life-long learning and we are truly committed to inspiring Christian character in all we do.
The College seeks a truly dynamic Science/ Maths Teacher who can not only inspire young people, but enable them to see the many applications of science to everyday life, to help them develop the skills required to succeed in tertiary science courses, to develop critical laboratory and investigation skills, and to discover the many wonderful careers that stem from the sciences. The present role includes the teaching of Lower Secondary Maths and Science, and so we are open to those with Majors in any of the Sciences, Maths or Psychology.
The College is in a significant period of growth and this represents a wonderful opportunity for promotional positions in the years to come. The College is about to embark on a major Capital building program, the first Stage to be completed by the end of 2027. This will include the development of three NEW Science Labs and a Prep Room. As such, applicants with an interest in the development of science learning spaces or those with experience in this area are encouraged to apply.

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.
Failure to contribute positively to a child-safe environment or failing to report a matter that should have been reasonably understood to have placed a child at risk, or any matter in breach of our child-safe policies, may result in the employee being subject to disciplinary action, up to and including the termination of employment.
Bayside Christian College seeks to work in prayerful and constructive support with all families and those in need, but is obliged and will report matters of concern related to child safety to the regulatory authorities. Under Legislation, any matter of concern, complaint or allegation pertaining to child safety must be reported to Regulatory Authorities, including any failure to report.
