Well Known
What is
It’s all well and good to say that your child will be well known here at Bairnsdale Christian College. But what does that mean, in practice? Excellent question! We asked our principal Craig Dredge what this means to him.
"For us, being 'Well Known' means your child is truly seen and deeply valued for who they are. It’s about taking the time to understand their unique personality, gifts, and dreams, creating a place where they feel safe, supported, and celebrated. At Bairnsdale Christian College, we believe every child is a precious part of God’s creation, made with a unique purpose. Being 'Well Known' is our way of ensuring that each student experiences the warmth of genuine care and encouragement as they grow academically, spiritually, and personally in a loving, Christ-centered community."

At Bairnsdale Christian College, being "well known" is more than just a phrase—it’s a commitment. We believe that each student is unique, and it’s our mission to understand their individual strengths, challenges, and passions. For us, "well known" means truly seeing and valuing every child, so they can thrive in a supportive and nurturing environment.
This isn’t just talk. It’s reflected in the way our teachers build strong, personal relationships with every student, getting to know their interests, learning styles, and aspirations. Our classrooms are designed to foster connection, where students aren’t just numbers—they’re individuals with unique gifts that we’re dedicated to nurturing.
At BCC, being "well known" means your child isn’t just part of a crowd—they’re part of a community where teachers, staff, and peers understand and support them. Whether it's through one-on-one conversations, academic guidance, or a warm greeting every morning, we make sure your child feels seen, heard, and appreciated every day.
