Ethical Consumers – Social Justice Week

The first week back in Term 2 was Social Justice Week.

Annually at the College, the Social Justice Leaders, Liturgy Leaders and the Marists in Action Group organise a week of activities to bring awareness to important causes in our world. This year’s focus was ‘Ethical Consumers’. The aim of the week was to encourage students in our College community to think about the impact of their purchases on the world around them.

Day One

This day saw the launch of Social Justice Week and included a moving Photo Booth around the school. Students were invited to take a photo with signs promoting ethical consumerism.

Day Two

Pledge Day! After speaking with students about the potential negative consequences from what we buy to other people e.g. slavery or cruelty to animals, the leaders encouraged girls to sign on to the pledge.

“I pledge to think about what I buy, where I buy it from and how it impacts the world”.

Day Three

This day launched an advertising campaign designed to provide students with bands that are committed to ethical manufacturing processes.

Day Four

An ethical outfit fashion parade was held. Students designed outfits using second hand fabrics. Congratulations to the winners and our thanks to Ms George and Ms Formosa for judging.

Thank you to the student leaders who oversaw this amazing week: Mia Lo Giudice, Charlotte Broeking, Orlaith Davis, Arielle Bonserio, Olivia Torre, Orla Krenmayr, Bianca Camroux.
