Social Justice Report

On Monday the 27th of October, the Social Justice Team hosted our first ever ‘Charity Cook Up’! Students from year levels 8-11 cooked up a storm, all in the name of charity.

On the menu was Butter Chicken and Spaghetti Bolognese, with all food going directly to families in need in our local community. We were lucky enough to have Major Di Hobbs from The Salvation Army come to speak to us about how our contributions will directly support those around us. To hear someone speak about a cause that is clearly so true to their heart was such an amazing experience and something that students came away learning lots from.

It was incredible to know that whilst we went home to eat dinner, someone else was doing so too as a result of our actions. Students so clearly understood that this event wasn’t simply a chance to do some cooking, it was a moment to appreciate all that we have and what we can do to continue being people for others.

We extend our gratitude to Ms Smith and Ms Clark, who supported the organisation of the event, and Ms O’Brien and Ms Polwarth, who both provided the supplies for and supervised our cooking. Whether it was ensuring that our pasta didn’t boil over or showing us the best way to cut an onion - they were so incredible in supporting this endeavour.

We look forward to more Justice activities soon!
