‘It takes a village to raise a child’. Nowhere is this truer than at Bayview Secondary College. Working closely with families from day 1, we work collaboratively to access the supports available within local community, mentors, external organisations, and business and industry partners to build networks around each student and to enhance our social capital. Students are provided with many opportunities to engage with local and global issues as informed and active citizens, for example; through charity work, leadership opportunities, sustainability and ‘paddock to plate’ programs, performing arts, creative design and solution-based thinking through our STEAM curriculum, and through business and entrepreneurship opportunities.
