Wednesday (Feb 26) marked the officially beginning of Semester 1 for students on the Lake Macquarie campus, and it is nice to feel the energy of students returning to campus. Students have been experiencing Orientation events, which culminated with the Opening Convocation held in College Church the previous day. Discipline Heads offered words of wisdom to their student cohorts and prayers of blessing offered.
Associate Professor Barnes welcomed new and returning students to the Avondale Business School, outlining some of the benefits of studying with our Business program. Graduate employment, industry links, Internship programs and corporate based student excursions were provided as examples of how our program provides business students with both the theoretical knowledge and practical applications of real world experiences that can assist their learning.
Students were challenged in the choices they make, reminded by the words of Eleanor Roosevelt “In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility”.
The staff here at ABS are very excited to be sharing these students’ learning journey, and hope the best is yet to come for 2019!
