Basden College has been innovative adapting containers for classrooms

Basden College, specialising in offering second chance education for those who left early and for young mothers welcomed back with their babies to continue their education. Over the years we have visited Baden we have seen it grow from 80 students to now +300 students. Classrooms and technical rooms for IT, wood work, home economics -some built from shipping containers, and this year a brand new 2-storey 4 classroom complex was opened. The blessing of God is definitely on this place.

Janet shares her story with the students

Their inspirational leader, Principal Mika welcome the team and inspired his students and even the Golden Oldies, that no matter what happens in our lives, God is with us, God is in control, God will sustain us. Appropriate and uplifting words for the team as they uphold Mel and her family in prayer at this time.

The senior students were too old to play in the local rugby competition so started a men’s netball team. They succeeded in getting to the national Championship semi-finals!
