Discovery Day at Ranges TEC
BHCS Year 9 students were invited to a Discovery Day at Ranges TEC.
Ranges TEC is a Christian Vocational Education and Training Centre that offers hands on learning and the opportunity to complete certificate courses in a variety of areas, both off and on campus.
Phil Jones, Principal at Ranges TEC took us for a tour of the Lilydale campus and spoke about the opportunities for Trade Training in a small mentored Christian environment.
We walked around the commercial kitchen, the electrotechnology/engineering department and saw samples of the furniture and cabinet making classes.
Phil spoke about community projects the Tec was involved in and how the students were working together to make a difference in their community.
We also visited their Monbulk site where students would engage in the practical components of Building, Horticulture and Landscaping.
It was a great opportunity to explore how we learn and appreciate the fact that we are all different but have the same value.
Marriage Course
Belgrave Heights Christian School, in partnership with a local church, is hosting the 'Date Nights' marriage course.
The Marriage Course is for any couple who wants to invest in their relationship, whether you have been together 1 or 61 years and whether you have a strong relationship or are currently struggling. There is never any group work and you will never be asked to share anything about your relationship with anyone other than your partner.
A great way to think about it is as a 'date night' for four weeks in a row - coffee, cake, music, humour, meaningful discussion - what could be better than that?
When: 7.45pm Thursday nights on...
27th August, 3rd September, 10th September and 17th September
Venue: BHCS Restaurant
Who: The course is designed for and open to all couples - anyone and everyone who wants to enrich and enhance their relationship!
Cost: $5 per week for coffee and cake
There is also a $35 per couple fee for a personalised assessment report (you fill in an online questionnaire and we give you a personalised, private report in 8 strategic areas of your relationship).
Places are limited, so please register by 20th August by filling in this online form: http://goo.gl/forms/1XEumplqxh
