About VBS

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a holiday program where children can learn about God and the Christian faith through Bible stories, interactive discussions, and fun activities. The purpose of this program is to foster children’s spiritual interest and to feed their spiritual hunger by exposing them to the Truth.

The curriculum and themes are designed to help children counter spiritual challenges they face in their lives. Every day, children are fed with secular ideas and worldviews be it in their schools, or through social media and entertainment. Unless they are equipped with God’s truth, these messages may weaken their faith and pull them away from God.

Our program is run by trained teachers and group leaders in sufficient numbers, to provide opportunities for children to relate and be educated by male and female young adults/adults within an intergenerational setting, that supports the formation of children’s faith.

Classes Available*

  • Lower: Prep – Year 2
  • Middler: Year 3 – Year 4
  • Upper: Year 5 – Year 6

* The class allocations above are subject to change according to the number of registered children per year level.

Snack is provided. BYO lunch and drink bottle.

Registration

VBS 2026 Registration will open on the 13th of April 2026.

Testimonials

Not a comment to improve, but to thank you all for accepting my kids to attend the VBS. We truly appreciate [you] for having our kids. Would love to have you back at the Western suburbs, especially the same location (Heathdale Christian College) in the near future. - Parent of Prep & Year 3 students, 2025

Both kids loved it! They liked the dances, songs and other activities. The most memorable experiences are missions and fun games. They learnt about God and wisdom. My kids said 3 days program isn't enough. They said 5 days!!! - Parent of Year 4 & 5 students, 2025

Initially, she was reluctant to participate on the first day. But thanks to the teachers around, she became happier to get involved, and 180 turned her attitude on day 3. Especially like spending time with teachers. - Parent of Year 3 Student, 2025

They loved it, they loved the educators that they met and the friends that they made. They love the songs, stories, games and performance. - Parent of a Prep student, 2025

They loved it! The most memorable experiences for each child are as follows: Y1: Coin game. Y3: worksheets and WISDOM song. Y4: science experiment and the drama. Y6: the skits. - Parent of Year 1, 3, 4, 6 students, 2025

My both kids love coming to VBS this year. They bonded well with their leaders, couldnt stop talking about VBS, and both were singing the songs day and night especially in the car ride. It touched my heart to see the spark from them when they participated in VBS, and also when they told me that they were inspired to be one of the leaders when they were older. It blessed my heart immensely when I saw the closing presentation. The most memorable experience for my kids were the games and the worships. Some take aways from my year 4, she mentioned that wisdom was to do what God tells us to do, my year 1 added that we were not to be the foolish one.. My children reckoned, VBS should have more days. They enjoyed the program so much this year, that they were sad when VBS ended. - Parent of Year 1 and Year 4 students, 2024

They enjoyed the sessions and could come home each day sharing what they had learnt. The song was the best !! Catchy and easy reminder for them when making choices. - Parent of Year 2 and Year 5 students, 2024

They LOVED it. I was pleasantly surprised that my shy preppy came home and said “that was so much fun!” And was excited to go back the next day. The kids loved rehearsing for the Wisdom song, all the games and learning about the Wise & Foolish men. - Parent of Prep, Year 2 and Year 5 students, 2024

It is so encouraging that our kids came back from VBS this Monday with some questions and curiosity about God. They love coming to VBS very much. I believe your work has been well-accepted and pleased God. And the words of God have been put into the kids hearts, which is very essential to developing their spiritual lives. Please continue VBS once/twice every year. Appreciate your teamwork for God and may God bless all your work for His name! - Parent of a Year 3 and Year 6 students

They love it and look forward coming to VBS everyday. My eldest thinks with so much effort put in, you should have a 5 day program instead. After day 2, my year 3 said that the mark of a great man is being unselfish. He then proceeded to make breakfast for all his sisters. My Prep also learnt so much. She kept encouraging her younger sister to be brave and courageous because God is with us. It is so encouraging and memorable to see all the children singing praises to God Friday night. Thank you for all your effort. God bless your children ministry. - Parent of Prep, Year 3 & Year 5 siblings

Lesson Overview

Things Hidden is a Vacation Bible Curriculum designed by Truth78.

Taken from Truth:78,

"Things Hidden is an evangelistic study taken from Truth:78. The parables of Jesus contain glorious, life-changing truth. But the beauty and worth of God’s truth is hidden from those who have blind eyes and a divided heart. Using hidden treasure as a metaphor for spiritual truth, this study of kingdom parables exalts God alone as the source of spiritual sight and an undivided heart. The goal of this curriculum is to awaken spiritual interest in children, so that they might seek after the hidden treasure of God and find their satisfaction in Him."

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Matthew 13:44 (ESV)
