Refugee Holiday Program

Refugee Holiday Program

On Tuesday 3rd July, during the Term 2 School Holidays, 16 students and 4 staff members from Saint Ignatius College attended the Refugee Holiday Program hosted by Saint Joseph’s College. Students and staff from all four Catholic Secondary schools in Geelong assisted in the program that ran activities including soccer, table tennis, dance, board games, outdoor games 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, make new friendships and develop those from previous holiday programs, enjoy different conversations and learn about Diversitat’s role in assisting and supporting refugees living in Geelong.

Sacred Heart College will host this program on Tuesday 25th September in the Term 3 School Holidays.
