Belgrave Heights Christian School is an, independent, co-educational, Presbyterian school located in Belgrave Heights on the edge of the Dandenong Ranges.[3] The school is located 32 km (20 mi) east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[4] It is an open-enrolment school, and is a member of Christian Schools Australia.
Belgrave Heights Christian School was founded in 1983 by Lynette Thompson, Jenny McCallam and Isabel Bell.[5]
Belgrave Heights Christian School was founded in 1983 as a result of the hard work of Lynette Thompson, Jenny McCallam and Isabel Bell. The school was established at the Belgrave Heights Presbyterian Campsite,[6] and officially began as a Primary School.[5]
In the early 90's, the school's enrolments declined from approximately 45, to a total of four students. This led to a temporary arrangement with Hillcrest Christian College, which allowed the school's numbers to increase again.[5]
In 2002, the school began its journey of transitioning into both a Primary and Secondary School progressively adding secondary year levels over time.[5]
In 2004, Andy Callow was appointed to the position of school principal. He led the school though a period of rapid growth[7] At the start of 2023, Andy Callow was replaced as principal by Peter Cliffe.
In 2013, the Kindergarten was opened providing a purpose-built facility[5] for early years education.
