Years 7-9 Middle School Curriculum 2011+

INTRODUCTION  

The Heatherton Christian College Secondary curriculum adheres to community expectations in that it is clearly based upon the government guidelines as set out in the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS). Our curriculum is submitted to the Registered Schools Board for approval and is reviewed annually. This includes an inspection visit to the school at the beginning of the year. 

It is the College’s aim to help students understand the relationship between God and His creation in everything they are learning and doing in the classroom. 

We believe all truth originates from God and His Word and that academic study is one part of that truth.  We know more about God because of education: 

·   in the ability to read the Scriptures 

·   to understand the universe through science and mathematics 

·   to understand our world and its story through geography and history 

·   to understand each other through language, writing and the arts. 

We believe it is not possible to understand any field of study separate from the knowledge of God.  Christ, not man, is the centre of the curriculum. 

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”. (Proverbs 1:7) 

Heatherton Christian College endeavours to provide subjects which are stimulating and exciting, and which provide the basic skills for life for an educated person.   

It is our prayer that students attending this College will experience success and the blessing  of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

“And all your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be the peace of your children”. (Isaiah 54:13)
