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).

    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.

  • Newsletter 1 August 2012
    Eamon Hannan – Principal Newsletter 1 August 2012 The Olympic Opening ceremony highlighted the need that our secular world has to explore ritual, liturgy and humour. The taking of the oaths, the lighting of the cauldron, the simple photographic remembering of those who had passed away, speak of people trying to connect with ideals and something greater than our individual selves. Mr Bean and the acting of the Queen showed the value of not taking things too seriously in a delightful British way. The ceremony was moving and uplifting and in many respects spoke of the highest of human ideals. Australian Student Prizes for Vocational Education Congratulations to two senior students from last year who have been awarded Australian Student Prizes for Vocational Education. Kaijah Jenkins and James McCann have both received the award from the Federal Minister for Education Mr Peter Garrett. The award is limited to Dates to remember: 500 students Australia wide and includes a prize of $2000 each. Kaijah and James continue a proud tradition of Australian Student Prize winners at the college in recent years.

A more relaxed lifestyle Queensland in general has a strong reputation for offering a great lifestyle. This is even more the case in Regional Queensland, with its stunning uncrowded beaches and a very relaxed way of life.
