20TH ASCENT CONFERENCE - WALK GENTLY

We are excited to invite you to join us in the beautiful town of Noosa from 1-3 May 2025 at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas. This year’s theme, “Walk Gently” encourages a deep exploration of sustainability, indigenous perspectives, faith, student agency, and environmental stewardship. As we reunite, we look forward to engaging with Church leaders, educators, and peers from Anglican schools across Queensland. Together, let’s inspire action and dialogue toward creating a more harmonious and responsible world. We can’t wait to welcome you back to ASCENT 2025!
