Saint Ignatius College has a vibrant and committed Social Justice Committee led by Toby Mew, Social Justice Captain and Fire Carrier. As we reflect on what was achieved in Term 1, we would like to share and thank the whole of the school community for their support.
Congratulations to the whole of the Saint Ignatius Community who raised $5501.65. in funds for Project Compassion. As a result of our fundraising, Saint Ignatius College has enabled the rehabilitation of a main water supply tank in a village in Tanzania.
Thank you, in particular, to the following groups who organised fundraising activities: Year 8 Easter Raffle, Year 8 Rubio raffle, Year 10 Cake Stall, VCAL Shrove Tuesday Pancake morning and the Casual Clothes Day organised by the S.R.C.
Congratulations and thank you to over one hundred students who were involved in running the student arm of International Women’s Day celebrations. This included baking, decorating and selling over 400 cupcakes as well as being involved in the annual Year 8 Students vs Female Staff basketball game.
As a result of the fundraising, the Social Justice Committee was able to donate over $639.00 to the Jesuit Social Refugee Service (JRS) where the focus is #makeroomforher. This area of JRS aims to raise awareness and funds for more opportunities for women and girls.
Saint Ignatius is proud to be supporting JRS in calling for displaced women and girls to pursue their education and become integrated members in their communities.
Women represent half of the world’s displaced population. When forced to leave their homes, they are particularly vulnerable to unique risks, including trafficking, gender-based sexual and physical violence, and heightened discrimination. With a safe space to heal, learn, and unlock their potential, they can rediscover hope and rebuild a sustainable life for themselves and their families.
Term 2 is a busy term for Social Justice. Activities include The Ration Challenge, The Cage and Refugee Week which is in Week 9 of Term 2. Activities will be posted on Xuno beginning Week 4.
