Chasing the sun, People come and people go Some stay others run. Each one leaving behind Marks etched along our path. Chasing the sun, Along the path we walk Onwards through the Valleys and up the mountains Some in circles, Looping back through The marks that remain. Chasing the sun, In the darkest of places…
Last year, I got an unexpected phone call that told me my ‘contract wasn’t going to be renewed for the following year’.

I walked into church for the first time this week in my pyjamas, but I wasn’t where you’re all probably thinking. I was in my friends’ room in the girl’s…
People-watching is a pretty creepy hobby when you think about it. But hey! Somehow, we’ve managed to make it socially acceptable and that’s good – ‘cause I quite enjoy it. I particularly like watching people socialise – you can learn a lot about someone by seeing how they act around other people, especially how they…
Hi, My name is Jenay and I have just completed a Bachelor of Arts at Avondale. Art has always been an outlet for me to express all sorts of emotions and experiences, and I especially turn to art when I am under pressure. I called this piece “Beautiful Memories: A Botanical Tribute to My Three…
Stress, deadlines, exams, jobs, expectations, assignments, exhaustion… pressure. Has your heart rate increased? Are you still reading or hiding under the covers? There is always something that needs doing whether it be working, studying, catching up with friends, housework, something for church, etc. While we might enjoy all of these things, it can quickly become…
