STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
DRESS AND APPEARANCE
Local Church Service
Students are expected to be actively involved in the ministry
of a local church that takes a separatist position.
This includes both faithfulness in attendance and participation
in ministry opportunities. Each student enters into
a discipleship relationship with this local church.  (top)
Standards and Conduct
While believing in the freedom of conscience concerning
Christian conduct in those things not expressly commanded
or forbidden in Scripture, Victoria Baptist Bible College
strongly senses the need of helping students to develop
a spiritual discernment in harmony with the principles
of divine revelation. In addition, the College reserves
the right to require students to subscribe to standards
that are believed necessary to create the campus atmosphere
and community character that is desired.
In applying for admission, all candidates are required
to sign this statement to the effect that they will gladly
adhere to the moral and scholastic standards of the school.
As a minimum requirement the student is obliged:
1. To utilise his/her time to the best possible advantage
by careful study, participation in spiritual activities
and Christian service responsibilities, faithful attendance
at church, maintenance of healthy living practices and
balanced home/recreational times.
2. To exercise care in choices of entertainment and activities
such that the student is not participating in those things
which could cause one to ‘stray from the words of
knowledge’ (Proverbs 19:27), lead another to stumble
(Romans 14:21) or damage the testimony of the Lord Jesus,
their local church, the student, or the school (1 Timothy
3:7; 4:12). For example, gambling, illegal drugs, drinking
alcoholic beverages, attendance at discos, night clubs,
pubs and viewing pornographic and erotic media.
3. To avoid every form of dishonesty, including lying,
stealing, cheating on examinations or assignments, failure
to meet financial obligations promptly, and negligence
in the performing of duties in the place of employment.
Should a question arise about the legitimacy of some activity
or behaviour, please discuss it with the Principal of
Victoria Baptist Bible College.
Students by virtue of their enrolment agree to live within
the framework of the school’s standards of conduct.
While some may not have personal convictions in accord
with all of these standards, agreeing to
them obligates the student to assume responsibility for
honourable adherence to them while under the jurisdiction
of the College. It should, of course, be understood that
any behaviour, either on campus or away,which indicates
that a student has disregard for the spirit of the school
standards, would be sufficient reason to ask him to withdraw
from the school. (top)
Dress and Appearance
When VBBC accepts students, it assumes the responsibility
to help them in their spiritual, moral and intellectual
development so that they will be well prepared servants
of Jesus Christ. Standards of appearance and dress are
not a test of spirituality, but they do serve to promote
godly character and a good testimony in the community.
Students who do not comply will be warned by the Principal.
Continued failure to comply will result in dismissal
from classes. Full time students are asked to comply
with the following:
Men
Hair: Kept neat above the ears and collar.
Shoes: No thongs
or runners.
Trousers: No jeans.
Shirt: With a collar and tie
(no flannel shirts)
Beard/Moustache: Neat and trimmed.
Women
