Principal, Bayview College

Description:

Unabashedly bold, Bayview is a Christian community school with a big footprint.

From its unique foundation as a collaboration between 5 churches, to its beautiful positioning on the esplanade, Bayview College celebrates an extraordinary 140-year heritage of pioneering changemakers who impact well beyond the school gates. Located in the historic coastal town of Portland, along the iconic Great Ocean Road in Victoria’s South-West, the College is deeply intertwined with the town and local area. Bayview students are kind, resourceful, inclusive and aspirational, learning “to believe, to think and to achieve” in new and creative ways best suited for the world in which they live. Today, the College is perfectly positioned to make the most of its spiritual, cultural, social, economic and geographical assets.

This opportunity has arisen with the announcement of Dr Michelle Kearney’s retirement in July 2025 after 14 full and wonderful years of dedicated service in the pursuit of innovative practice.

This role will suit a person of Christian faith, an educational leader with the integrity, conviction, character and courage, who role models and proactively promotes a respectful and positive learning environment.

The Principal is deeply embedded in the life of the local community. The Principal’s role is to inform, guide, lead and empower staff, students and parents in their Christian faith. With strategic oversight across all aspects of operations, the appointee will be a relational leader, who engages readily with one and all, models a strengths-based approach and will be a creative, lateral thinker who delivers.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

a commitment to the practice of their own Christian faith, to ecumenism and to promoting and supporting the beliefs and practices of the school
an immersive and engaging leadership style, essential to foster a positive, creative, collaborative and inclusive culture where agency, commitment and personal excellence are prominently featured
proven experience developing and delivering a bespoke contemporary learning, teaching and pedagogy curriculum
strategic insight and leadership across all operational facets including school administration, staff development, compliance, finances and governance.

With a negotiable start date, preferably at the commencement of Term 3, July 2025, the successful applicant will benefit from an attractive five-year executive contract with an option to renew. Eligible candidates must have a right to work in Australia at time of application and be eligible for VIT registration.

Bayview College staff comply with the school’s child safety policies and related policies and procedures (including the Code of Conduct), upholding the principles and values set out in legislative frameworks and regulations, at all times conducting themselves in accordance with the commitment to take all reasonable steps to promote the safety of children.
