Ensuring remarkable Jewish Education is accessible for all

Bialik’s Science Week has been a resounding success, igniting enthusiasm and curiosity across our school community. From engaging guest speakers to hands-on activities and interactive displays, the week showcases the joy and wonder of science for students from Early Learning Centre through Year 12. Funding of this activity provides our Science Department with the capacity to enhance planning support for our dedicated teachers and cover the costs associated with these dynamic activities, maintaining the excitement of science and discovery in our curriculum.

Bialik was the first mainstream school in Australasia to be involved in “Dogs for Life”, a program partnering dogs with students and educators in a safe and controlled environment, led by a team of highly competent, skilled and experienced trainers from the CSTDA. The dog is used as a catalyst for enhancing the emotional well-being of the students and their relationships with others. Some of the educational outcomes that can be expected from this program include enhancing the child’s emotional development with improvements in self-esteem, autonomy and empathy for others. The aim of the program is to educate the students on how to care for and model the correct behaviour around dogs; to share the wonderful bonding experience that can occur between a dog and a person; to deal with “animal fears”, in a stable, constant non-judgmental and calming environment.

At BiaIik College, the wellbeing of the entire community is paramount, rooted in strong relationships among students, educators, and families. We have a dedicated child safety, wellbeing team and psychology team, which offers regular support, training, and education for volunteers, educators, and students. It is imperative to maintain a comprehensive approach and support a curriculum for wellbeing due to the growing mental health challenges. It allows our educators to address issues more effectively, ensuring they can offer timely and compassionate support. Through the contribution of an anonymous donor, it has enabled the expansion of the counseling team to ensure more vulnerable students are supported in a clinical setting.

Established in 2014, the Bialik College Future Fund was created to provide a sustainable source of income to reduce the cost of Jewish education for the next generation of Bialik families. Invest in the continuity of our vibrant Jewish community and help us continue to create the leaders of tomorrow.

Primary bursaries are a key component of our enrollment strategy, designed to make Jewish education more accessible to families. At Bialik College, we are committed to fostering an inclusive community by providing opportunities for more students to benefit from our exceptional educational experience
