BECOME A MEMBER

The publicly reported instances of unjust treatment of staff, parents and students, and the personal experiences of numerous BCC community members (dating back to 2015) including past and present: parents, teachers, staff, principals and past directors, as well as many others, has motivated us to formally associate. Collectively, we are seeking change, at governance level, through a return of responsibility for governance of the school to a broad and representative membership that includes parents.

Get Involved! Don't leave the advocacy work for your child's learning experience to the parents of other children. Parents and teachers, your voice counts and gives weight to the need for lasting change. Your identify is protected and membership indicates your affirmation of our Objectives.

Read more about our Objectives here.

If you have been impacted, directly or indirectly, by negative treatment or experiences at the hands of the BCC Board, or know someone who has been, please consider joining the Community for Constitutional Reform at Brindabella Christian College (CCR@BCC) as a member. You will be helping to bring lasting change so a renewed BCEL can deliver quality Christian education not only to our children, but also for future generations of Canberra students and ensuring secure employment for staff.

FEELING ISOLATED OR UNSAFE: If you are a current BCC parent, staff or teacher and concerned for your personal welfare, or your children's, or worried about keeping your job, please read more about how Adero can help here or make enquiry with the CCR@BCC Committee private and confidentially via email: admin@reformbcc.org

YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT

CCR@BCC take privacy considerations extremely seriously. The confidentiality of the CCR@BCC membership has been built into the Association’s Constitution and Rules (Clause 36). CCR@BCC has worked with Adero Law to ensure the highest level of security for its members. In accordance with Section 67A and 67B of the Associations Incorporations Act 1991, members can elect to have their personal information restricted to the CCR@BCC Committee only. This allows the Committee to refuse access to requests for your personal information held on the Member Register.

CONTRIBUTE

Depending on the outcome of the Review currently before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), and the extent of the Federal Education Ministers actions, the Association may advance legal pathways to pursue its Objectives of constitutional reform, in which case building a Mobilisation Fund will become a priority. Should that become the case, we will reach out to our membership and other interested persons.

We are grateful for many who have already made contributions to-date, allowing us to engage

Adero Law for legal advice and assistance in establishing the Incorporated Association and a public platform.
