Community Engagement and Justice Program

Primary and Secondary student leaders have opportunities to volunteer and lead others in the Community Engagement and Justice Program which is conducted throughout the school. This program allows students to engage in activities within the school and also with our wider community that has its foundation principle, “It is in giving that we receive” (St Francis of Assisi). It encourages students to become more world aware and challenges them to serve the needs of others. It allows them to be exposed to situations outside of their everyday experiences. Each year, students in Year 11 also participate in a week-long Social Awareness Week.

Students have the opportunity to participate in activities such as:

• St Ambrose Parish Foodbank
• Cedar Campus Tutoring
• National Young Leaders Day
• Visiting and entertaining the elderly residents at St Paul’s Hostel
• Ozanam House Community Centre
• Year 11 Social Awareness Week
• Student Social Justice Day at ACU
• Project Compassion fundraising and awareness
• Catholic Mission

All these activities provide great opportunities for our students to become more engaged in the community and to challenge issues of justice within our society.
