Who we are
Apart from delivering free services and programs to help students succeed with study and enjoying their time at Box Hill Institute, the Centre for Student Support Services coordinates the delivery of the VCAL (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) programs across all of the centres within the Institute.
Our facilities
Box Hill Institute has many real businesses (like Fountains Restaurant) for training purposes. They also serve the general public. They’re operated as commercial enterprises by Box Hill Institute students, under the close supervision of teaching staff.
Several of our training workplaces have been developed through unique training partnerships with international organisations such as Interflora (Flowers on Elgar) and Aveda (Aveda Salon on Elgar). They provide our students with practical, hands-on work experience in a real-world setting, and they provide the local community with a range of great value services.
