VETA MORPHUS (CERTIFICATE III IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND THEOLOGY)
2 Unit Course For One Year
Non – ATAR Course
Veta Morphus is a national Christian leadership program for senior secondary students. It is designed for students who wish to explore and develop in the Christian faith in a practical, hands-on way. This senior course provides students an opportunity to pursue and experience deeper faith while gaining academic credit.
It is a year-long 2 Unit course that enables year 11 and 12 students to grow in their Christian life. Students will experience course content delivered by an external education provider online, attend weekly teacherrun tutorials in the school timetable, undertake ministry placement, attend three faith-building retreats, be shaped by an adult mentor and enjoy deep bible engagement. Veta Morphus students regularly connect with a group of God-focused peers and ask the hard questions, put their faith into practice and discover who they truly are in Christ… and do it all as a core part of their senior school pathway.
The course is highly recommended for those who would like their life and thinking to be shaped by Jesus and the God of the Bible. It is also a great subject for those who would like to continue their exploration of Biblical Studies at the senior level but are not ready for the rigours of the Studies of Religion HSC course. Also, students who have taken the subject in the past have been offered extra credit by the tertiary education institutions to which they have applied.
As the Veta Morphus course is Nationally accredited and is administered by an external registered training organisation (Evolation Learning), it incurs costs not covered by school fees. There may be a government subsidy available through the Association of Independent Schools (AIS) if the course is to be listed on the external VET Portal. The College would also provide some subsidy towards the cost of the course. More information can be sought by asking Mr Phillip Heard or by following the link https://veta.org.au/veta-morphus/
