Z Club

I am Aimi Clemons from Mount Alvernia's Z Club.  As part of our Z Club, we have three sub-committees: Advocacy, Service, and Fundraising.  I have the honour of being the chairperson of the Advocacy Sub-Committee.  The Advocacy Sub-Committee looks after promoting Z Club initiatives by raising awareness and advertising on social media pages, the college newsletter, and assemblies.  We also create posters informing students and teachers of important information and upcoming events.

So What is Zonta?

Zonta is an international organisation that focuses on empowering women.  We fundraise for, and raise awareness about, issues that women face today.  Our vision is to create a world in which women's rights are seen as human rights, and to see that every woman can achieve their full potential.

Inititiatives - A Brave New Life

Z Club has many initiatives that work on bringing this vision to life - such as birthing kits, hygiene kits for mothers who have experienced domestic violence, and - our most recent initiative - working with A Brave Life.  A Brave Life is a registered not-for-profit organisation that focuses on walking alongside  and motivating teenage mothers while they complete their school education, through their LIVE LIFE BRAVE Mentoring Program, and providing necessary baby items to teenage mothers through their Baby Bundle Program.  Thanks to A Brave Life, they have provided a donation box (outside the staff lunch room) for their Baby Bundle Program.  It would be greatly appreciated if students, parents, and teachers could donate newborn items for the Baby Bundle Program.  These items include baby wash, bibs, breast pads, cotton wraps, face washers, newborn nappies, newborn singlets, wipes, and wondersuit/coverall (size 0000).  Please note that all newborn items must be new and in their original packaging.

I would like to thank our Liaison Officer, Mrs Goldie, for assisting the Z Club, to Mel from A Brave Life for taking time out of her day to come to talk to us and providing us with a wonderful initiative, and to the Z Club members for making these initiatives happen.  Z Club is a wonderful opportunity for your daughter/s to get themselves involved in during their time at Mount Alvernia College, and will encourage them to be open-minded and to be of service to others once they leave high school.
