Kids View Conference – Social Justice Excursion

Students from Mini Vinnies at SJV attended the Kids View Conference at St Cecilia's Primary School today as part of a Social Justice excursion. Throughout the day, students participated in a range of activities designed to build empathy and develop a deeper understanding of poverty and the challenges faced by many children around the world.

A powerful part of the experience was listening to students from the Philippines share their personal stories and experiences. Their stories highlighted how education can help keep children safe and provide opportunities for a brighter future.

The conference encouraged students to reflect on the importance of compassion, gratitude and social justice, while inspiring them to think about ways they can make a positive difference in the lives of others.
