Lectures and course workload

The college yearly calendar and semester timetable are designed to make sure that students can enjoy a balanced life.

For day time students there are no lectures held on Mondays or late afternoons/evenings. All lectures are finished by 4:15pm.

Students taking a standard full-time load of four and a half subjects in first year and four subjects in subsequent years are committed to only 16 hours of weekly college activities; 14 hours of lectures plus the community activities described below.  The formal class contact hours leave time for individual study and catching up informally with one another.

Chapel

Students and staff begin the week with a chapel service. We worship in song, pray, and hear the hear the Bible preached. This ensures that as a community we are focused first on knowing God and being changed by Him through his Word.

Prayer

Because we believe prayer is important, there are prayer meetings on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and Wednesday afternoons .These times give staff and students the chance to pray for each other, the QTC community, Queensland and the world. It also means students get to know each other on a deeper level, and can encourage one another through prayer.

Window on the World

Every Thursday, guest speakers from various walks of life join us to talk about living, working, and thinking as a Christian in their own particular context, and to reveal ministry issues and opportunities. These sessions help our community remain focused on serving and supporting Christians in the wider world as they seek to faithfully live and witness to Christ.

Morning tea and lunch

On lecture days, staff and students share morning tea (provided) and lunch together. We love spending this time getting to know each other, talking further about lecturer topics or just enjoying each others company with food!
