Refugee Holiday Program

Article by Ms Alicia Deak

Refugee Holiday Program

During the Term 1 School Holidays, 7 students from Saint Ignatius College attended the Refugee Holiday Program hosted by Clonard College. Students and staff from all four Catholic Secondary schools in Geelong assisted in the program that ran activities including soccer, drama, cooking, basketball and arts and crafts for students living in Geelong with a refugee background.

It was a wonderful opportunity to love and to serve those in our local Geelong community by giving up a day of our holidays to make new friendships, enjoy different conversations and learn about refugees from a global and local perspective.

This program will be hosted by St Joseph’s College in the Term 2 holidays and by Sacred Heart College in the Term 3 holidays.
