What Diggers Drank: The AIF and its Refreshments 1914-18
No full textWhile alcohol consumption has dominated the very limited discussion of the AIF’s liquid intake, there has been no study of the totality of the role of various beverages in the health and well-being of the diggers. This paper explores the physical and cultural context of beverages consumed by the AIF, covering the complex and problematic issues of alcohol consumption, as well as non-alcoholic beverages such as tea, coffee, cocoa and humble water, exploring the ways in which these drinks played into the physical and socio-emotional lives of the soldiers. It frames the discussion in the international scholarship on beverages, and uses contemporary official sources as well as the private records of soldiers to understand the vital roles and challenges posed by all kinds of drinks in the AIF narrative

Celebrating 44 Years as a Christian School Teacher: Unchanged Mission in a Changing World
Get PDFThis chapter is a narrative of my experiences over 44 years of teaching in Christian schools. Through literature and my experiences, I trace changes over this time in pedagogy, philosophy, and the accountability of teachers. The changes I discuss include students’ life priorities and career choices, sustainability, social awareness, multiculturalism, discrimination, gender-related issues, teacher accountability, technology, teaching conditions, behaviour management, individualised instruction, problem-solving, parent input, community expectations, globalisation, legal issues, and child protection. I trace these changes from an academic as well as a personal perspective, with my overriding theme being that the aim has always been to introduce each student to Jesus in the process of educating the whole person

Where to go for a Christian Research Degree? Part 2 of a two-part Report
Get PDFAvondale University is committed to providing quality higher research degrees. Data on candidate and graduate experiences from the institution and across the sector are central in shaping good practice and informing policy, processes and systems designed to support candidate and supervisor research training (TEQSA, 2018) and employment opportunities (Bentley & Meek, 2018).
This paper reports on research conducted at our institution which focused on the following two questions: What were the differences between the way current candidates and graduates reported on their postgraduate learning experiences in the MPhil or PhD degrees at Avondale? And, what were the differences between the way males and females reported on their postgraduate learning experiences in the MPhil or PhD degrees at Avondale?
In this mixed methods research project questionnaires and interviews were used to determine what is valued by current and past HDR candidates of Avondale and which areas of our HDR programs need further development. This is the second of two papers that report the findings of this project and identifies future research which may further support HDR candidates’ holistic experiences
