Future Fund

Prep Bursaries
Prep Bursaries allow us to support young families as they transition from government subsidised pre-school to a private school environment. Prep bursaries are an important part of our enrolment strategy to help Bialik improve accessibility of Jewish education.

Tzedakah Fund
The Bialik Tzedakah Fund at Bialik College will provide significant relief to families facing financial challenges. While many of us may take for granted the ability to cover non-school fee related expenses, such as school uniforms, musical instruments, tefillin, excursions, or camps, for some families, this is simply beyond their means.
Well-being Program
At Bialik College, the well-being of the entire community is paramount, rooted in strong relationships among students, teachers, and families.
We have a dedicated Child Safety and Well-Being team which offers regular support, training, and education for volunteers, teachers, and students.
To maintain a comprehensive approach, external experts and internal staff provide presentations, guidance, and consistent support. The school emphasises help-seeking with developed posters and regular staff references.
Chavayah Program
Bialik’s Chavayah Program is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Year 10 Bialik students to bond as a year level in a Jewish, Israeli, global environment with learning experiences that are life-changing. Fundamental to its success is the College’s commitment to ensure that all students, irrespective of their family’s financial situation, are able to participate in this seminal experience.
Year 12 Legacy Project
At Bialik, we believe in the power of giving back, and leaving the school in a better place for those who follow in your footsteps. The Year 12 Legacy Project, which began in 2020, has been a powerful way for students, families and supporters to mark the conclusion of their Bialik journey with a meaningful contribution. It is a tradition that continues to strengthen each year, and we are thrilled to provide our graduating classes to leave their own mark as part of this enduring legacy.
Maccabi Aquatics
Maccabi Aquatics at Bialik College has been established as part of a long-term strategic partnership between Maccabi and Bialik and will operate for the benefit of the community.
Maccabi Aquatics is based at the Bialik College Gringlas Sports Centre and offers a complete aquatics program including Learn-to-Swim, Junior, Senior, State, National, All Abilities & Master’s Squads and has plans for Water Aerobics and general Fitness Squads.
The Maccabi Aquatics team are working closely with Bialik’s sports department in running its curriculum swimming, school swim squads and fitness, health & wellbeing aquatic programs at the College.
In the true spirit of a Not-for-Profit community partnership, all surplus funds earned will flow back into the community via the Maccabi Victoria and Bialik College Foundations.
The Bialik College Foundation is proud to be part of this community partnership and will use all funds received to continue to support our College and community.
Alan Finkel Launch Lab
Bialik’s new home for Science and Innovation. With open, collaborative spaces and breakout areas, Launch Lab represents a new approach to learning, liberating our students to play and explore. This is about more than just teaching Science – it is about fuelling curiosity for the world and nurturing the change-makers of tomorrow. Building works to commence in 2022 and to be complete by 2023.
