The experience of living in men’s residence Watson Hall on the Lake Macquarie campus beckoned. Brock enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts and would soon specialise in communication. His career trajectory since graduating in 2012 is impressive.

Brock moved to and, beginning with smaller firms, has worked consistently in public relations. A former colleague invited him to apply for the role of Senior Publicist and Social Media Manager at Opera Australia. One of his favourite experiences? Moving out of his Sydney Opera House office for three weeks to promote a production performed on a purpose-built seaside stage on Coolangatta Beach. He also pitched an idea for a photograph—the lead in Carmen appearing to walk on the Captain waters of Sydney Harbour with the opera house in the background— to the Picture Editor of The Sydney Morning Herald. The photograph appeared on the front page. And he pitched a story idea to Network Ten lifestyle show The Living Room that placed host Amanda Keller in a Jack guest role in an opera production. Brock speaks highly of the dedication and passion of his former colleagues. “They do so much incredible work behind the scenes.” Radley He gives as an example the wigs worn in the opera.

Power to think and do: it’s a gift from the Creator. Seventh-day Adventist pioneer Ellen White makes the statement (Education, p. 17) to encourage us to explore and to engage. Giving to Avondale demonstrates your support for her philosophy. Journey with us as we accept the challenge of learning and discovery. And as we use this knowledge to improve lives. Your gift will help our research centres give us a better understanding of spirituality and worship, Christian education and teaching and learning.

THANK YOU! Your generous response in 2017 raised almost $100,000 for our research centres. They are using the money to invest in projects studying the biblical dimensions of worship and the implementation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics integration and exploring the practice of teaching and learning.
