Our Staff

• Staff are selected on the basis of merit, qualifications, skills and especially for their attitude of commitment and care towards students
  
• Teachers are expected to be examples upon which children can confidently model themselves 
• Teachers see their work here as being a Christian ministry, and not just a job
• Students benefit from the strong positive relationships developed at Geelong Baptist College
• Staff genuinely care about the welfare of students and their life journeys.  All students commence their day with their Homeroom teacher, allowing for devotions, pastoral care and the opportunity to build relationships between teachers and students that are based on trust and mutual respect. 
  

Student Welfare and Pastoral Care

• The foundation of the Pastoral Care lies with the class or Homeroom teacher. 
• Every teacher is available by personal appointment for consultation where students are experiencing difficulties or for parents to seek clarification or ask questions. 
• The College also has a Chaplain, who is available to provide support to students, parents and staff.

GBC Employs the 6 Es!!

Effective teachers use a range of tactics, strategies, and behaviours which translate into opportunities for students to engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate.
