Yr 9 and 10 Service Learning
All boys in Years 9 and 10 are asked to organise voluntary, unpaid community service work. Mindful of the time demands already placed on our boys, boys are asked to perform a total of approximately eight hours, during either Semester One or Two. This service work can be performed weekly, fortnightly, or over one or two days during the holiday period.
ANY voluntary work is considered such as:
- Mowing lawns of an elderly neighbour
- Volunteering to work in the canteen or Coaching at their weekend sporting club
- Assisting with Kids Club at a Church Group or After School Care
- Voluntary work for Charity organisations such as The St Vincent de Paul Society, Meals on Wheels, etc.
For Christopher Cooper (9/LE) he chose to work as a volunteer Surf Lifesaver , carrying out beach patrols at Bondi Beach.
“ I feel privileged to be able to help people”, said Chris (pictured above left with Dylan Hackers from Waverley College)
What a great example of service to the community.
Congratulations Chris!
