Characteristics of the student body:

Brisbane Bayside State College is a secondary school of 964 (2013) students located in the urban community of Wynnum West, and educating students from Wynnum and surrounding suburbs including Manly, Hemmant, Lindum, Tingalpa, Murarrie, Belmont, Gumdale and Wakerley. The school was opened in 2010. The school was developed as part of the Tomorrow‟s Schools initiative and therefore is founded on the values of learning, sustainability, diversity and community, values which fit perfectly with the goals of systemic initiatives to improve outcomes for all students.

Students who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students number 49 and therefore comprise 5% of the total college population. Through improved understanding of indigenous cultural perspectives within school communities, BBSC strives to close the gap in outcomes for these valued students in our community.

The student population of Brisbane Bayside State College reflects the local community in that a wide range of ethnic groups are represented. Approximately 75% of students are Australian born, and the remainder represent cultural groups from across the world including New Zealand and Pacific Islands (13%), The Philippines (3%), United Kingdom, Sudan, Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand, China, India and Africa. This diverse cultural mix includes 66 students (7%) for whom English is their second language.

Apparent retention of students within the school for February 2012 to February 2013 was 93.9% from year 8 to 10, and 88.6% for year 10 to 12. From August 2012 to August 2013 the apparent retention rate from year 8 to 10 was 90.9% and from year 10-12 was 82.5%. Increasing enrolments from private sector schools and from students entering Australia from overseas influence this data.

Curriculum offerings

Our distinctive curriculum offerings

Brisbane Bayside State College has set high-level targets across all aspects of schooling. The school maintains a strong focus on providing students with a supportive curriculum. The junior secondary phase of learning philosophy stipulates that year 8s remain with their key or core teachers for the majority of their learning. Complementing this is a college pedagogical framework known as „The Art And Science Of Teaching‟ which establish explicit classroom routines for all teachers and classes. All classes include embedded literacy learning in the form of uninterrupted silent sustained reading, spelling and vocabulary, and contextual writing. A College Numeracy plan to ensure consistency of approach across all learning areas is also being implemented with strategies to embed „numeracy moments‟ across all key learning areas. A welfare program also is in place which provides guided support for all students from year 8 through to year 12. Junior School Specifics Brisbane Bayside State College‟s curriculum is organised according to the National Curriculum Guidelines. Students in year 8, 9 and 10 study the core subjects of English, Maths, Science, History and Physical Education and they have the choice of electives throughout the three years. In Year 10 students undergo a rigorous process of Senior Education Training Plan (SETP) interviews and processes in selecting subjects that are designed to prepare students for Year 11 and 12. Senior School Specifics BBSC offers a comprehensive subject selection in the Senior School. In 2012 students could choose from 27 authority subjects including three through virtual schooling/distance education and 17 non authority subjects. Many of our students also take advantage of completing a School-based traineeships/Apprenticeship) attending a TAFE college one day a week to complete a certificate level course or to enrol into University partnership programs. Through the Students Education Transition Plan (SETP) process and ongoing support structures, staff plan with parents and students a pathway to achieve post school ambitions and goals.


Extra curricula activities

In 2013 some of the ways students were encouraged to be active participants included: *Leadership positions and an active student council. The student council raised money for the 40 hour famine and Shave for a Cure, Harmony Day, White Balloon Day and organised a school social in Term 4. *The School Captains host full school assemblies each fortnight and on special occasions such as ANZAC Day and the Leadership Assembly *A thriving instrumental music program, junior choir, indigenous dance troupe and stage and concert bands..

BBSC has invested in ensuring our curriculum provides learning and assessment opportunities that allow students to inquire, create and communicate with ICTs. There are currently over 800 individual computers at BSSC which ensures students have access to ICTs to meet their daily learning needs. Below is a snapshot of the ICTs available at BBSC.

Social Climate

Brisbane Bayside State College is a strong school community with an emphasis on support for students and positive relationships and productive partnerships between all members of the school community. This is evidenced by:

*All students being assigned to a House Group as well as welfare Roll Class. Students remain in the same welfare class throughout their time at BBSC and where possible have the same welfare teacher and welfare leader each year. The House system aims to promote House as well as school spirit by involving students in a range of pursuits (cultural, sporting and academic) in which they can gain House points to contribute towards an overall award of Champion House of the Year.

*An individual rewards system aims to recognise those students who „do the right thing‟ in areas such as punctuality, attendance, having the correct equipment, supporting others, following rules and meeting expectations. These students have been rewarded with individual „Golden Tickets‟ that places them in the draw for monthly rewards and prizes. Year level reward days are available in the Junior School to recognise students who have maintained the expected standard of behaviour and engagement in learning. *A well- documented and well enacted Positive Behaviour Plan. The Welfare Program across all year levels is a crucial component of BBSC‟s whole school approach to positive behaviour support. All students have a welfare lesson each week as well as a welfare teachers and a year level welfare leader. Specific lessons and programs target development of interpersonal skills, goal settings, career pathways, resilience training and social development. Further support, available through the guidance officer, Chaplain, school nurse, career pathways co-ordinator and Community Education Counsellor enhances this program. A consistent expectation for students to demonstrate our four core College rules is the basis for positive management of student behaviour in all College activity – classroom learning, around the school, at functions and events, and travelling to and from the College. The four rules, well known and adhered to by the school community are – Be a learner, Be responsible; Show respect; Contribute to our community.

The success of this approach can be seen in the School Opinion Surveys where 97% of parents agreed that their child feels safe at BBSC and 88% of students felt the same. Parents believe that their child likes being at BBSC -93% and 88% of students agree.
