Geelong Baptist College is a Christian school nestled into the hills of Lovely Banks overlooking the scenic Corio Bay and close to other prestigious Geelong colleges.
Here you will find a secure and safe learning environment for your child.
Within its precinct, students experience quality learning programs and the enriching experiences one gets from being within natural, yet expansive, grounds.
Students from Foundation to Year 12 experience a strong academic culture and a high standard of education. Their learning is underpinned with Christian values and beliefs, and students are inspired and equipped to aim high towards a positive future, for not only themselves but for the world they will inherit.
The College strives to assist students to achieve a balance of academic rigour and personal wellbeing as they seek to juggle all that life has in store for them in their journey to maturity.
GBC is open to students of all faiths. Students represent all cultures and walks of life, thus a true reflection of the real world.
Geelong Baptist College staff understand the decision regarding your child’s education is a difficult one and its pastoral care is paramount in all walks of our students learning journey.
The Edge program for year 9 is explicit in its intent to equip students to ‘go into the world’ and to live humbly and justly. As such, Edge students are provided with opportunities to practically care for the environment, their neighbours, and especially for the marginalised and underprivileged.
Likewise in the Primary School, students experience a clubs program which facilitates them to not only unpack their own gifts and talents – such as music and art – but equips them to be servant hearted and to use them for others.
GBC’s motto: To Live the Truth encourages students to seek out empirical truth and then to live it out in their lives.
The College’s logo, the soaring bird, depicts the concept of rising, to take from the experiences of today in order to face the challenges of tomorrow.
Staff provide students with the opportunity to discover the truth of the Gospel of Jesus as well as the nature of God.
It’s the College’s mission for students to have discernment, to know what is right and to commit to action for a better society.
The College is on one campus on a sprawling 34 acres and offers a seamless transition from primary to secondary.
Explicit and skilled teaching of reading, spelling and numeracy in the primary school ensures students have a solid foundation on which to build in secondary.
A wide range of subject choices are offered for secondary students to equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to deal with life beyond school.
Secondary career studies ensure students have a thorough understanding of their future study and career options, and graduates are well prepared and confident for life beyond school.
GBC are proud of their students and confident those who attend the college will continue to make positive and wonderful contributions to society.
The College’s privately owned modern fleet of buses service not only the immediate Geelong area, but also the surrounding areas, including the Golden Plains Shire, Point Cook and Werribee.
Interested families are encouraged visit the College on one of the many Open Days or Twilight Tours in 2020.
