Vision, Mission, Values and the BAC Way

Our Purpose

It is our purpose to reveal Jesus in all that we do, and to everyone with whom we interact. Our school exists because we believe in the profound love of Jesus and the hope, peace, and joy that comes from knowing Him, and living with Him and for Him. We want to share this good news in our early learning and school community. We are intentional in everything we do - in our attitudes, words, and actions - and we want to reflect Jesus to our students, young children, families, and the wider community.

Our Vision and Mission

It is our vision to be a thriving Christ-centred learning community.

Our desire is to build a dynamic, nurturing, inclusive school community and to be a lighthouse in our local community - shining for Jesus, and serving with care and excellence. We are committed to working in harmony with our families, churches and communities to build a vibrant culture of excellence.

It is our mission to enable every student to flourish.

Our belief is that students and young children will truly flourish when their spiritual, mental, physical, and social needs are met. We want to inspire and care holistically for each person - equipping them with the beliefs, values, and skills to live a life of purpose, hope, joy, and peace as a global citizen for Christ.

Our Motto

Our motto is Everything with God.

God is woven into the very fabric of our school. We invite Him to be a part of everything we do, large or small, and our Christian values are integrated into our learning and social activities as we strive to shine His light, and instil a Christ-like character in our students.

Based on our motto, our core values are Integrity, Respect and Joy.

Integrity

Choosing to do what is right, regardless of who would know or what others might think or say.

Respect

Practicing integrity based on the Creator God's code leads to the development of a deep sense of self-respect, which in turn leads us to respect others.

Joy

Joy results from living a life of happiness and respect. Joy is more than happiness, which is generated by external conditions; joy is a deep sense of well-being that comes from within and is evidence of the Spirit of God living within us.
