Our Global Community

Ou r G lo bal Co m m un ity

We strive for a more inclusive world, by promoting cultural diversity and acknowledging the significance of Australia’s First Nations peoples.

The community of Beaconhills College embraces and celebrates Australian Indigenous culture.

We strive to embed a deep understanding of rich indigenous cultural practices, and proudly seeks as an organisation to support reconcile events from our past, the present and into the future through the spirit of unity.

Unity is an Australian society that values, respects and recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritage as a proud part of our shared identity as a nation. The College is committed to encouraging our community to embrace Indigenous culture and support the Indigenous learning in our curriculum from the Early Years through to Y12 and beyond.

The spirit of giving is a Christian principle which is an integral part of the College philosophy.

The College has always recognised that we can make a difference – individually and collectively – to the lives of those less fortunate, but the idea of community service was consolidated in 1994 when we responded to the crisis in Rwanda.

Now our community service activities are established throughout all levels of the College. Our annual fundraising for various charities now runs to the tens of thousands of dollars and we aim to continue and improve on these efforts in years to come.

The children, families and staff at Little Beacons supports have established a pre-school and schools in Bangladesh and East Timor and also support programs in Vietnam. The children have the opportunity to explore different ways to raise funds to support these important initiatives.
