Hurstville Adventist School in Sydney is Neva Taylor’s current mission field. She’s the principal, and she’s passionate about the people whom and with whom she serves. The Class of 1978 is honouring Neva at Homecoming 2018 as a woman of faith who puts people first.
The PR professional
Friday, August 10, 2018Brock Goodhill discovered Avondale on a trip to the college with his Year 11 classmates. The experience of living as an on-campus student beckoned. Brock enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts and would soon specialise in communication. His career trajectory since graduating in 2012 is impressive and has earned him the title Young Alumnus of the Year for 2018.
The wild lad who came good
Friday, August 10, 2018Nobody attending Avondale with Graham Barnett could forget the brash and distressingly voluble boy from Kingaroy, Queensland. Few would have believed the same lad, now a recipient of a posthumous citation from the Class of 1968 at Homecoming 2018, could become a renowned missionary and administrator who faithfully followed God’s leading.
The pastoral and mission minister
Friday, August 10, 2018Having completed the ministerial course, Pr Errol Wright left Avondale believing if God wanted him in the ministry, He would show the way, and He did. The Class of 1958 is now citing Errol at Homecoming 2018 for following God’s leading into pastoral and mission ministry.
Helper of people
Friday, August 10, 2018Earle Rogers thought his calling might be in ministry but felt “more inclined towards the accounting side of things.” This led to a 25-year tenure at NRMA and now a citation for service from the 1948 honour year at Homecoming 2018.
Faithful creativity in our own words
