    The following schemes are used by Christian Heritage College (CHC) to provide adjustments to the selection ranks of applicants to CHC courses for admissions purposes: • CHC Partnership School Scheme; • CHC Community Engagement Scheme; and • Educational Access Scheme (EAS). Applicants must meet all other admission requirements for their preferred courses prior to the adjustments being applied. Only one scheme can be applied to an applicant’s selection rank. The requirements of the schemes, and the adjustments they provide, are explained below. Year 12 applicants can benefit from an adjustment of 2.00 selection ranks by completing Year 12 at a CHC Partner School (see Appendix 1). The CHC Community Engagement Scheme allows an adjustment of 2.00 selection ranks for applicants in CHC’s catchment area, according to their residential postcode (see Appendix 2). The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) allows an adjustment to be applied to the selection rank of applicants who have experienced difficult circumstances that have adversely impacted their studies. To be considered, applicants apply to QTAC for a confidential assessment of their circumstances.

    INTRODUCTION This curriculum framework is a brief statement that provides the foundational worldview from which an Adventist teacher delivers the Australian National Curriculum. It is a concise statement of principles, values and threads that undergird and guide what we consider to be real, true and good. This worldview is shaped and permeated with our belief that Jesus is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” John 14:6. We also believe strongly that each teacher must teach from within their own authentic Christian journey and that their experiential relationship with Jesus will permeate all they say and do. This framework endorses the notion that rather than being Christians who happen to teach, we are wanting to teach Christianly. We wish to reveal a God who loves unconditionally. “To think Christianly is to accept all things with the mind as related, directly or indirectly, to man’s eternal destiny as the redeemed and chosen child of God.” Harry Blamires, The Christian Mind: How Should a Christian Think? , p. 44 Teaching is more than imparting information. Effective Christian teaching is transformational. It will take Romans 12:1-2 as its focus and try to nurture a discipleship response to God’s love in the lives of our students. This provides the basis for the term “threads” used in the Values and Response Threads section. Threads are simply the qualities or characteristics we desire as responses from our students. They help provide cohesion and linkage to everyday living. These Response Threads, like Values, will often overlap in various subject areas, and provide a discipleship response to God’s love.
