    INTRODUCTION This curriculum framework is a brief statement that provides the foundational worldview from which an Adventist teacher delivers the Australian National Curriculum. It is a concise statement of principles, values and threads that undergird and guide what we consider to be real, true and good. This worldview is shaped and permeated with our belief that Jesus is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” John 14:6. We also believe strongly that each teacher must teach from within their own authentic Christian journey and that their experiential relationship with Jesus will permeate all they say and do. This framework endorses the notion that rather than being Christians who happen to teach, we are wanting to teach Christianly. We wish to reveal a God who loves unconditionally. “To think Christianly is to accept all things with the mind as related, directly or indirectly, to man’s eternal destiny as the redeemed and chosen child of God.” Harry Blamires, The Christian Mind: How Should a Christian Think? , p. 44 Teaching is more than imparting information. Effective Christian teaching is transformational. It will take Romans 12:1-2 as its focus and try to nurture a discipleship response to God’s love in the lives of our students. This provides the basis for the term “threads” used in the Values and Response Threads section. Threads are simply the qualities or characteristics we desire as responses from our students. They help provide cohesion and linkage to everyday living. These Response Threads, like Values, will often overlap in various subject areas, and provide a discipleship response to God’s love.

An Indigenous Australian from Kuranda in far north Queensland, Sandra took time to visit Edinburgh during the week she was in Melbourne teaching cultural awareness to medical profession- als. Sandra shared her story and was delighted to have her son, Radayn Tanna accompa- ny her on the visit. Radayn played the didgeridoo for Primary Chapel and led two sessions with the Primary students instructing them on throwing (and catching) boomerangs. Radayn has played the didgeridoo inter- nationally and has many paintings exhibited in galler- ies across Australia. Both Sandra and Radayn spoke to the Year 10 History class who are studying race relations in Australia and the USA. They concluded their visit by presenting the College with several throwing boomerangs expertly painted by Radayn. - Mr Brooks Footy Colours for CFA A number of very passionate football supporters happily exchanged their school uniform for their team’s colours and a donation to the Warburton CFA. $177.00 was raised. Within our Christian environment at Edinburgh College we want to develop willing learners who are respectful, responsible and resilient, and who have a heart for service in their community. - PB4L Statement from Students & Staff.

An Australian by birth Hook has served the Church as a teacher at the elementary, academy and college levels, a missionary in Papua New Guinea, and as a local church pastor. In retirement he is a conjoint senior lecturer at Avondale College of Higher Education. He has authoredFlames Over Battle Creek, Avondale: Experiment on the Dora, Desmond Ford: Reformist Theologian, Gospel Revivalist, the Seventh-day Adventist Heritage Series, and many magazine articles. He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Carmel Adventist College is a coeducational boarding school near Perth, Australia. Carmel Adventist College began as the Darling Range School early in 1907. Beginnings In 1906 one could take the steam train from Perth, Western Australia, and travel up the zigzag line to a ridge in the Darling Range that led to Canning Mills where jarrah trees were sawn into lumber. Along the ridge the train would stop briefly at places such as Gooseberry Hill, Heidelberg, Green’s Landing, and Pickering Brook. In the surrounding valleys early settlers were establishing orchards.1 A small group of settlers at Heidelberg (renamed Bickley) and Green’s Landing (renamed Carmel) were new converts to Seventh-day Adventism. They became aware that their church leaders in Western Australia wished to establish a school for the training of denominational workers and missionaries.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

  • World Patterns of Seventh-Day Adventist Education Is the Only Description of the Church Educational System by Countries
    WORLD PA~fTERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education WORLD PA'ITERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education Christian EDUCAiiON An Adventist Essential Sixth Revision, 1993 Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... 3 Placement Recommendations ..................................... 4 Abbreviations and Symbols . 5 Categories of Seventh-day Adventist Schools . 6 Abbreviated Symbols for Countries without SDA Schools ................. 7 Patterns of SDA Education (Countries in Alphabetical Order) . 9 Bibliography . 187 Index of Names and Places . 195 3 PREFACE The General Conference Department of Education coordinates the educational work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from a global perspective. World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.
