Every Tuesday, our Mission and Outreach students bring joy to the residents of St Joan's Hospital by singing and playing the ukulele in the residential care unit. On Fridays, the Art Club runs creative sessions there, complementing other initiatives like feeding the hungry through The Serve, supporting hospital chaplaincy, and participating in Over the Fence programs at Fairfield and Bankwood Primary Schools. Additionally, our students provide music service at the Cancer Society Lions Lodge and dedicate many hours to the Refugee Orientation Centre Trust’s Afterschool Programme.

At our recent Service Awards assembly, we celebrated exceptional contributions, with 76 students earning Service Badges, Ties, or Colours in recognition of their incredible efforts. This year alone, our students and staff volunteered over 161,000 hours and raised more than $90,000 for charitable causes. As Paul reminds us, "God loves a cheerful giver."

Blessings,
