Tiani commenced as a Primary Teacher at John Paul College in 2016, having completed the Bachelor of Education (Primary) degree at CHC in 2015. CHC’s unique program of teacher education, including practicums and internship in a variety of school settings, prepared her for life in the classroom. Although she always had a love of children and was interested in their development, her degree helped her to see more.

“Christian Heritage College has helped me to consider all aspects of teaching and learning and the integral dynamics of this profession. Teaching involves a great responsibility to not only teach subject material to children, but also to instil values. During my time at CHC I was pleased to study in a supportive environment where you journey with your peers towards your professional and personal goals, whilst being influenced by those around you and shaped into the best teacher you can be.”

“Here at CHC, every student is appreciated for the unique person that we are.  I enjoy the flexibility of my degree program as well as the diversity of students from all different cultures and I love how accessible and approachable all of our lecturers are.

My degree has led me to work as a Relationships Counsellor in a not-for-profit organisation that supports healthy relationships in our community.”

“For me, studying at CHC was like opening a treasure chest: a rich, in-depth learning process where God could birth truth in me and restructure my thinking.

I really appreciate the flexibility that came with studying at CHC, giving me the opportunity to work my study commitments around my work and pastoral commitments.  Completing my degree helped me to find my calling and equipped me to fulfil it.”

“CHC has changed my life, equipped me to step out confidently into the professional world of counselling and carry with me the Christian worldview that was interwoven through every subject.

As I now sit with clients who are journeying through their own stories and seeking their next step, I know that the heart of CHC is being reflected through how I have been shaped by my studies to be a professional counsellor within the community. Being a graduate of CHC I feel that, wherever I go in life, who I have become has been because of the integrity and care that is flowing from this great and impacting college.”
