History
Belgrave Heights Christian School was founded in 1983 by Lynette Thompson, Jenny McCallam and Isabel Bell.[5] The school was established at the Belgrave Heights Presbyterian Campsite,[6] and began as a Primary School.[5]
In the early 1990'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 transitioning into both a Primary and Secondary School progressively adding secondary year levels.[5]
In 2004, Andy Callow was appointed to the position of school principal. At the start of 2022, Andy Callow was replaced as principal by Peter Cliffe.
In 2013, a Kindergarten was opened providing a purpose-built facility[5] for early years education.
Facilities include a gymnasium, cafe, and kitchen; primary school building; sports courts; technology and arts centre, and a playground. The school is situated in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, with Monbulk Creek bordering one side of the school property.
