Year 13 2007 Kicks Off
Year 13 has started for 2007 with a terrific weekend away, followed by two great weeks of lectures. The gang of 26 students and 4 staff have quickly settled in to what is shaping up to be a great year of service and growth.
Many of the changes for this year have been received well, including the new online learning and the introduction of the ‘Doctrine’ course.
Stay tuned for more updates, especially as we start to lock-down some of the new changes for 2007, including a local alternative to the Africa mission, plus other surprises!

Hi Jodie!
I’m curious as to what ‘a local alternative to the Africa mission’ will entail!
Jodie on 12 Mar 2007 at 8:59 pm #
Well, it wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you…
But, here are some hints. Local = Australia not Africa.
Any guesses about what our destination might be?

Ooooo surprises! Surprises are always good. Unless they are bad. But then they are usually called shocks.
I’m guessing the local alternative will be a change for next year? Unless we are suddenly going to dramatically change focus for our mission…

Phil, you’re very, very warm…
No details locked in yet, but Matt, it won’t affect 2007. Your ticket to Kenya is guaranteed!

Matt’s question is what I was trying to get at. That’s a relief!

The 2007 bunch of Year 13r’s looks pretty good, especially because somebody
has an afro. Hope your staying cool under the pressure. adios jodie.

Thanks, Wombo. Yeah, the year is going really, really well. I’m keeping cool under the pressure, and very excited that we’ve now got 4 weeks without formal lectures, so I can do some of the big dreaming about next year’s program. But, that said, I’ll miss the lectures. They’ve been very exciting, with heaps of great class discussion.

Wow…there you go, a new Year 13…*sigh* I wish Uni was that fun.
How have they responded to having an extra subject?

Hey Michael,
AFAIK they have loved the new ‘doctrine’ subject, but they haven’t yet done the Apologetics or Church History ones (semester 2).
It’s more work, but I think it’s worth it!
Jodes.
