History
Bayside Christian College began life as Frankston Christian School in temporary buildings on Beach Street, Frankston. At the beginning of 1982, a small group of thirty-eight primary students and two teachers gathered in the playground, about the size of a suburban back yard to witness the opening of a parent-controlled Christian school to service the Christian community of Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. In 2012 it celebrated its 30th birthday.[3]
