Inspiring our students to be agents of change

A group of Year 9 and 12 students travelled to Mt Druitt recently to spend a day of service at the Ignite Food Store and Baabayn Aboriginal Corporation.

One group helped restock the shelves and organise the donations from Foodbank, Harris Farm and Catholic schools in Sydney. The second group met the Aboriginal elders of Baabayn, learnt about the various programs offered to the community and helped decorate the space for an upcoming event.

We hope this service immersion experience gave the students a greater understanding of the challenges faced by communities in Western Sydney and inspired them to be agents of change.

If you would like to help the two organisations during this Advent Season, visit https://jss.org.au/westernsydney/ or donate to Mary Bailey House’s Christmas appeal which will be going to Baabayn.
