September saw our Year 8 students taking part in a Homeless Sleepout supported by the Salvation Army. This event aims to raise awareness around the challenges faced by unhoused Australians. For our students, this was a wonderful opportunity to grow in empathy and understanding towards members of our community who are doing it tough.

With little more than a sleeping bag, our students spent the night gaining firsthand experience into what sleeping rough can feel like. This was followed by a day of engagement in different community service activities, where our Year 8s were able to give back to our local community and continue to grow in compassion towards others.

We are so proud of our students and their willingness to love and serve their community!
