Year 12 Religion and Ethics<\/h3>\n

This term, our Year 12 Religion and Ethics students have been immersed in a unit on Social Justice. As part of this unit, students have learnt the difference between acts of charity and acts of justice. While acts of charity might provide immediate resources towards a problem such as poverty, acts of justice attempt to changes structures that cause the problem in the first place.<\/p>\n

Over the last fortnight, our Year 12 Religion and Ethics students have been planning social justice initiatives for their assignment. These initiatives are designed to bring about meaningful, long term change in our community. Working in groups, students were given an initial budget of $50 and had to plan a fundraiser and use the profits to fund their acts of justice. Students held bake sales, spider stalls, lolly stalls and raffles to try to raise more money for their acts of justice. We look forward to seeing how the students use these proceeds to better our community and the world!<\/p>\n
