Year 9

Service Opportunities

This week, Year 9 received a briefing from Sarah Jauncey (Director of Immersive Learning) about an exciting service learning opportunity through the Exodus Foundation, a local charity that has been supporting the homeless and vulnerable for more than 30 years.

MLC School has partnered with the foundation to give Year 9 students the opportunity to volunteer at their famous Loaves and Fishes Free Restaurant. Volunteer shifts will be offered to students by Luminary group and will run on selected Fridays across the year. A volunteer shift might include preparing food, helping set up the restaurant, providing food and beverage service and general cleaning, as well as working in the warehouse sorting products and creating emergency food parcels.

Year 9 students are encouraged to register their interest by completing the form shared with them on their Canvas page. Places may be limited. More information will be provided to students closer to their allocated volunteering date.   

We are very grateful for our partnership with Exodus Foundation, and the invaluable experience and profound impact it has on our students and staff alike.
