At the heart of Heathdale is the belief that each child is made by God, unique and gifted with individual characteristics and potential. It is from this belief that curriculum and co-curricular programs are designed, enabling each student to find their God given potential. It is from this springboard that our purpose statement is founded and is why our programs are developed, to give opportunities for each child to develop their purpose.
Teaching for a vocation is an integral aspect of the learning journey, with evidence of Heathdale’s comprehensive academic programs seen in their outstanding academic results. To achieve the best results for students, teachers work together with parents toward the same goals.
The College’s 2017 Year 12 VCE, VET and VCAL scores, show the result of these curriculum and co-curricular programs. With the widest subject selections at VCE in the Western suburbs, the College saw their 2017 Dux achieve 95.65 and multiple students receive University early offers due to their outstanding results and community and leadership skills. Within extensive Creative and Visual Arts programs, the College saw a perfect subject score in Music Industry Studies as well as student nominations in Top Arts and Top Acts.
A love of curiosity is nurtured through their learning journey, building skills of deep understanding and wisdom in students as they grow toward their vocation. Students are encouraged to develop behaviours of integrity, honesty, respect, love, honour and truth. It is these skills that motivate students to seek their calling in life and that create inspired individuals that seek to serve locally and globally.
Heathdale’s programs are structured from four year old Kindergarten through to Year 12 to enable each student to have a strong base of literacy and numeracy, which is evidenced through well-above average NAPLAN results.
The largest range of subjects occur through Year 7 & 8, as students learn multiple languages, compete in sports, study science, maths, creative and visual arts, participate in leadership opportunities and community service programs.
In short, the College tailors its curriculum and co-curricular programs, all based on God’s Holy Bible, for each student to pursue and launch into the next phase of their life, where teachers encourage students to learn life long behaviours like integrity, honesty, respect, love, honour and truth.
Our College continues to grow, now with a dedicated Primary campus, and kinder to Year 12 campus, in the Western suburbs of Melbourne.
