Bayview College is a small school, where positive relationships are fostered between teachers and students. The size of the school allows these relationships to be developed easily, and also allows students to feel that they are part of an institution in which they can have some influence.

The College believes that a successful learning environment within the classroom, where students can feel free to express their views, is central to a successful education. The College is also sensitive to the value of other activities outside the classroom, and encourages staff to explore a wide range of learning opportunities for students.

It is important that parents too feel comfortable in their relationships with the school. Education is a shared process between parents, students and school, and Bayview recognises the need for good communications, encouraging parents and staff to exchange information about students on a regular basis.

Our aim, in association with students, staff and parents, is to maintain a genuine learning community.
