Schools for Impact Event 2024

Schools for Impact Event 2024

As part of Future Ready Week, Year 10 students joined peers from other local schools for a day at Sydney University. The event, organised by our Head of Service Learning Huw Blood, in collaboration with Impact 100, aimed to support four inspiring charities that create employment opportunities for at-risk groups in our community.

A representative from each of the following charities spoke to students about the important work they do, sharing moving stories about the people they have helped. 

Here is more information about each Charity:

The Social Impact

Harda

Bandu

Jesuit Refugee Service

Students gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by these groups and learned about the transformative work being done to address them. Each student then had the opportunity to decide where their $50 donation would have the greatest impact by voting for one of the charities. As a result, a significant amount was raised for each organisation, and students deepened their understanding of the issues affecting some members of our local community.
