For Josh.... Hillsong College
Hi All,
This is in reply to a question about Hillsong College (Josh, next time use my contact page and then I can email you back).
In four words: Hillsong College is awesome. I go to the city campus, which is in central/southern Sydney. Malls, sights, and many other things are in short reach. The majority of students (I'm an exception) live about 5 mins walk from the college/church. It is a smaller campus with less people (about 300) and an awesome family atmosphere. All but about 2 or 3 lecturers are shared at both campuses and you have a lot more oportunity to get involved at city than Hills.
Don't get me wrong, Hills is good too. They have about 700 students and have the best facilities. They have (essentially) their own building for college seperate from the big convention center where the majority of their services are held. They offer a bit more in selection for Worship and creative arts, as they have dance studios for dance students.
The down side (or up side) of Hills is that is in the middle of a huge residential area with one mall and thats about it. It's in North Western Sydney and far away from the 'city' itself. Some students at hills complain there is nothing to do and even move to City for their next term/year. We have had people leave city for hills too though....
Ah yes, I should tell you about streams. If you go to their website hillsongcollege.com it will give you the info you need. Basically, there is Worship and Creative arts (which you major in your instrument/your voice/drama/dance/etc....), Pastoral Leadership, Pasoral Counselling, Youth Leadership..... and there a bunch of internships as well where you get to essentially intern as part of their staff in an area such as youth.
You can do 1, 2, or in some cases 3 years in a stream. The 1st year gives you a certificate 4 in ministry, the 2nd year gives you a dimploma in ministry and the 3rd is an advanced diploma. They are fully accredited.
If you have any other questions go to the contact page....
