Dear Families,

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed a change of routine over the holiday break and found time to connect with family and friends.

Our theme for the year, Flourishing, is based on Jeremiah 17: 7-8. Jeremiah reminds us to continue trusting in the Lord and putting our confidence in Him. In doing so, the promise continues that we do not need to fear or worry but can continue to flourish even through seasons of heat and drought.

These verses still resonate with me as I continue to see what the Lord is doing in the life of our College community at Bayside. I hope they encourage you too.

Future Planning

Students, staff and parents recently completed Sentiment Surveys which highlighted many areas of strength as well as emerging opportunities for growth. These insights will guide our planning for 2027 and beyond.

Please join us in praying for wisdom as we seek to remain faithful to God’s plans for the College in the years ahead. I look forward to sharing more of our future direction later in the year.

Uniform Supplies

Our uniform supplier, PSW, has advised that all uniform items are now in stock. Thank you for your patience while stock levels were limited. Please ensure your child has all the appropriate uniform items for the term.

Confirmation of Ongoing Enrolment Email

As we begin planning for 2027, it is helpful to have an idea of our expected enrolments. In the coming weeks, I will send out an annual Confirmation of Ongoing Enrolment email which simply provides us with an indication of your enrolment intentions for next year. Thank you in advance for completing this as it greatly assists our planning.

2027 School Fees and Dates

We are intending to communicate 2027 school fees and dates later in this term.

Prayer Points

Term 3 includes many important events including camps, excursions and incursions. We also have a group of students and staff travelling to Indonesia at the end of the term. Please pray for our students and staff as they participate in these opportunities, and that these experiences deepen their understanding of the world God has created.
