The college consists of a Year P-9 Campus located in Altona North, a Year 7-9 campus located at Williamstown and a Year 10 - 12 campus in Newport. The college has a multi-cultural student population.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The college is committed to:

- Providing a comprehensive curriculum that meets the needs of all students;
- Providing a friendly, safe and disciplined environment in which students are able to value and enjoy learning;
- Encouraging and celebrating student success and achievement;
- Developing skills and knowledge that will enable students to live in a rapidly changing and increasingly technological society, to show leadership, to act co-operatively, to demonstrate self discipline and to be socially aware;
- Encouraging the participation of parents, students and staff in the full life of the college; and
- Providing equal opportunities for all students.

CURRICULUM
Bayside P~12 College provides educational leadership in the district and the region. The college provides a comprehensive course of study for Years P-10 in the eight Learning Areas and the broadest range of VCE and VET units at Years 11- 12. The senior campus has an excellent VCAL program. Bayside College has a 1:1 student netbook program. There are support programs for integration students and other students requiring special education. Throughout the curriculum students are encouraged and expected to take an active and responsible role in their learning.

There are a range of co-curricular activities organised across the three campuses involving many students: Foundation Day, year level and adventure camps, excursions, debating, drama and band performances. The annual visit from our 'sister' school in Japan (Anjo-Higashi High School), is a highlight, along with our Art and Technology show and school production. Other programs include our advance programs in surf lifesaving, bike education, wilderness photography, sport, and the Student Representative Council. Each of these activities provides an opportunity for the College to promote the social, personal and community skills of its students.

COMMUNITY
The college is an integral part of the broader local community. School facilities are regularly used by community groups in the area and this promotes awareness, support and cooperation. The college works with local industry and is supported in range of endeavours, including work experience and work education. There is a formal partnership with Mobil Altona Refinery which provides additional resources to the school and greater community support for the curriculum. The Victorian School of Languages use the Altona North campus to teach a wide range of LOTE languages on Saturday mornings.

FACILITIES
Each campus is designed to enable the delivery of the widest possible curriculum. The Altona P-9 campus and the Paisley Senior campus at Newport have both been re-built and provide state of the art student learning facilities. The Williamstown campus has an elite, select entry Tennis school providing sporting opportunites for talented students. The college has extensive facilities: three libraries, three gymnasiums and a great range of outdoor education equipment. Students have supervised access to the Internet through the classroom via student netbooks.

The school grounds are regularly maintained and upgraded to improve the school environment. Students are actively involved in this planning and development. The college utilises a wide range of local community resources such as athletic tracks, gymnasiums, swimming pools, sports complexes, Science Works, theatres, and the facilities made available by the local council and local industry.
