After rethinking what leadership in the current climate is, we continuously refocussed on our ability to learn about world issues but also act and do something to help. Caritas has and always will put an importance on social justice issues, giving students avenues to learn more about the world around them. This term we set out to do our bit for the local St Vincent de Paul store. Through the generosity of our families and friends, our clothing drive was a huge success. It was important to emphasise the work of St Vincent de Paul volunteers and make known how the organisation helps people in our community. St Vincent de Paul Society provides support for people in many capacities with an increasing need during 2020. On Thursday 20th August, we proudly presented our local store with the clothing donations and handed over a $1000 donation from the student leadership team. Our leaders recognised the amazing work being accomplished and wanted to support the volunteers in any way we could. This year has solidified how important helping others is; sometimes it’s a physical donation, monetary support, a helping hand or a listening ear. It is opportunities like this that develop our character strengths and allow us to experience the good in the world.
