All students at Brisbane Bayside State College are assigned both a house group and a welfare roll class. Students remain in the same welfare class throughout their time at the college and, where possible, retain the same welfare teacher and welfare leader each year.
The house system promotes both house and school spirit by encouraging participation in a wide range of cultural, sporting, and academic activities. Students can earn points for their house through their involvement, contributing to the prestigious Champion House of the Year award.
The college also operates an individual rewards program that recognises students who consistently "do the right thing." This includes demonstrating punctuality, good attendance, being prepared for class, supporting others, following rules, and meeting expectations. Students are rewarded with 'Golden Tickets', which enter them into monthly prize draws. In addition, junior school students may be eligible to participate in Year Level Reward Days to acknowledge their ongoing positive behaviour and engagement in learning.
The Welfare Program is a vital part of our whole-school approach to positive behaviour support. All students participate in a dedicated welfare lesson each week, focused on developing interpersonal skills, goal setting, career planning, resilience, and social development.
Students also have access to additional support through our Guidance Officer, Chaplain, School Nurse, Career Pathways Co-ordinator, and Community Education Counsellor—further enriching the welfare experience at BBSC.
