Year 10 Religion - Community Service

Our Year 10 RE students have been out and about this term, volunteering in the community and making a positive contribution through their servant leadership.

The community service program is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn valuable life skills, as well as interact with community members from different walks of life.

As part of their community service, students not only acquire knowledge and skills, but also gain a greater understanding and appreciation of what it means to be an active member in their community and how they can influence positive societal impact.

We would like to thank all participating organisations and schools for hosting our students and for allowing them to have this important opportunity.

Below is a small collection of photographs from some of the venues we have worked with recently, including Twin Rivers Primary School, Echuca Specialist School, St Vinnies Op Shop, Laundry Mates and our very own St Joseph’s College canteen.

Congratulations to our participating students for their hard work and for representing our College in such a positive manner.

Year 12 PD

Last Friday our Year 12 cohort undertook a Personal Development Day which included a study skills seminar hosted by Elevate Education to assist with their upcoming end of year exams, and a resilience building workshop run by James McQuillan.

James is a past student of St Joseph’s College who tragically suffered a fractured vertebrate while playing elite football, resulting in C5 paralysis.

His inspiring workshop focused on the importance of being able to pivot your goals if required and always trying your best to achieve those goals, no matter how hard they may seem.

Students were incredibly motivated by both these workshops and walked away with, not only some practical skills and strategies they can use at school and beyond, but also an immense gratitude for the opportunities available to them as they prepare to leave school and follow their chosen pathways.
