COMMUNITY SERVICE

I have absolutely loved being a part of community service initiatives that helps make a difference within our School, as well as our wider community. The Year 12 Cohort helped to knit blankets to assist people affected by the fires in Australia. It was amazing to get our entire Year working together on something important to many people’s lives. As a part of our Church Services, I selected charities to forward donations to. I strived to pick charities that were fitting for the areas of our community that needed the most help. As a result, I chose Mission Australia for our Christmas Church Service as they specifically help homeless children and families during Christmas. For our Easter service, Save the Children was selected, as they focus on helping support families in Ukraine with food, shelter, and medicine. We ended up raising $518 dollars for Mission Australia and $656 dollars for Save the Children, which is an amazing achievement. I also organised the 40-hr Famine within our School. I encouraged as many people as possible to sign up for this meaningful cause to help fight world hunger. Our annual netball game against St Kevin’s Year 12s was also organised to raise funds for the Cancer Council.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference through the St Catherine’s community because of my role as Community Service Captain.
