At CHC, higher education is about more than academic and professional development – it is also about personal growth. We recognise that who you are is more important for success in life and work than simply what you know. CHC therefore seeks to develop the whole person, integrating personal growth and professional development.
Students say that they feel the difference the minute they set foot on the CHC campus. The atmosphere of inclusion and acceptance, and the supportive environment based upon shared aspirations, makes life at CHC a rewarding experience. Many students develop lifelong friendships and continue their connection with the CHC community long after they graduate.
Whether it’s a first degree or part of a lifelong process, students value the experience of learning at CHC. Our graduates consistently rate their course experience as amongst the nation’s best. The personalised attention and encouragement our students receive motivates and assists them to reach their potential. Our staff wholeheartedly embrace the CHC vision and provide quality one-on-one advice and support to students in their personal, spiritual and academic development.
Learning of this kind involves a personal engagement with professional knowledge, and this best occurs in a mentoring relationship. Our staff know their students by name and the students enjoy an ‘open door’ policy which provides the opportunity for authentic and meaningful interaction.
