NEXT is a unique experience of discipleship, spiritual formation and personal development wrapped up in a tailor-made program of accredited Diploma study for emerging and young adults. NEXT is designed for post-high school students who are looking for something different while they are transitioning between whatever is now to whatever is … well … next.
Because NEXT is such an out-of-the-box experience, the only way to really find out what it is like is to come along and experience it for yourself.
At our Open Nights, you get to road test what NEXT is actually like and see whether it is a good fit for you.
NEXT Open Night is your opportunity to find out what you need to know. You will experience first hand why NEXT is such a unique course, discover the different options you have available, and see how you can put these together to create a year that fits your situation and plans.
Ask any question. Meet the team. Check out the campus. Enjoy our culinary delights.

Humanity in the 21st century faces enormous challenges. Australian Christianity in the 21st century is also facing enormous challenges. It will be argued that both of these challenges are linked to a crisis of the dominant mode of living in the West: consumer culture. This lecture will consider the tasks of Christian witness in Australia if it is to take these twin challenges seriously. How might ecological responsibility and economic justice be linked to the health of faith and the content of witness? And what might this actually look like?
