Last week marked MSCW Social Justice Week, a time to reflect and learn about the importance of women within our school and in our wider world. The theme for this year was \u2018Celebrating Us, Celebrating Sisterhood\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a College community, we engaged in various activities initiated and run by the College’s social justice group, Marists in Action (MIA) and the Youth Ministry Coordinator, Miss Vu. Throughout the week, a <\/span>vision board was displayed that aimed to teach students about the unheard lives of some amazing women such as Ruth Bater Ginsburg, Rosa Parks and Marie Curie. On Tuesday, a stall was held during lunch that allowed students to write letters of recognition to their friends, peers and teachers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the Principal\u2019s Assembly, the Social Justice Co-captains raised awareness of the inequality women face in today’s world. During their presentation, an interactive post-it note activity represented statistics shown about women around the world. Another major highlight was the screening of Legally Blonde<\/em> in the theatrette, with students and staff generously donating to Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans (ACRATH). This movie was entertaining because it empowers women to aim for any goals they have despite the bias shown towards them. On Friday, an Awareness Walk was held to show students just how common bias is directed toward women in a multitude of scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social Justice Week was a great and informative experience because it educated the community about the issues women face within our College and the wider world, what organisations are doing to combat these issues and how we can all empower each other.<\/span><\/p>\n
