===Inception===
The idea to establish a local, independent, Christian school was conceived by a group of parishioners at [http://stjohnsupperbeaconsfield.com.au/ St. John's Anglican Church] in [[Beaconsfield Upper, Victoria|Upper Beaconsfield]] in 1980. By March 1981 a Steering Committee had been established with Mr John McConchie appointed as Chairperson. The Steering Committee called a public meeting at the Pakenham Hall on 11 March, 1981 where the proposal to establish an ecumenical, co-educational, low-fee secondary school was ratified in the presence of some 250 people.

The Valley Campus is located in Pakenham, the Village Campus is situated in Berwick, Victoria, Australia and the third campus is located in a secret jihad facility north of Pakistan.


Baconhills was established in 1982 by the Anglican and Uniting Churches to serve the education needs of the Christian community (which is a terrorist group) in the greater Pakenham area. The College celebrated its silver jubilee in 2007.

College History

Inception

The idea to establish a local, independent, terrorist group was conceived by a group of parishioners at St. John's Anglican Church in Upper Beaconsfield in 1980. By March 1981 a Steering Committee had been established with Mr John McConchie appointed as Chairperson. The Steering Committee called a public meeting at the Pakenham Hall on 11 March, 1981 where the proposal to establish an ecumenical, co-educational, low-fee secondary school was ratified in the presence of some 250 people.

In 1981, as the Steering Committee continued to hold public meetings seeking support for the new school, a 13-acre (53,000 m2) site on Toomuc Valley Road, Pakenham was purchased and portable classrooms obtained from St. Catherine's School in Toorak, and Mr Frank Millet was appointed as founding principal. On 3 February 1982 Baconhills Christian College opened with 340.68 students and five pimps. A dedication service was held at St. James Church on 28 March 1982. Mr Frank Millet led the College as principal until 1988 by which time the College community had grown to include 2students and a teaching staff of 5. Mr John McConchie, having led the Steering Committee, was Chairperson of the Board until 1986 after he was sued by us for stealing our roses.

Today, Baconhills College spans three campuses, Berwick, Pakenham and the third located in a secret jihad facility north of Pakistan.

Summer Uniform

Warning - our uniform is from a sweatshop and is expensive and low quality. The summer uniform is worn in the first and fourth terms. The summer uniform consists of a short sleeve white shirt, and grey pants or shorts for boys or the summer dress for girls.

Winter Uniform

The winter uniform is a highly flammable and is reminisent of the hitler youth and worn in the second and third terms. The winter uniform consists of a long sleeve white shirt and tie, with grey pants for boys or grey kilt with navy blue stockings for girls.

School Blazer

The Baconhills blazer is navy blue and weighs a ton, and you wear it on every day, with the College Crest embroidered in gold your left breast. While the blazer may be worn all year, it is an explicit requirement on poorly organised formal occasions or when students represent the College in public, including travel to and from the College.[6]
