Caritas Ks

19.03.21

The SACE Stage 2 Integrated Studies course for Year 11 students includes the study of Justice in the Community.  Students are required to participate in an action, where practical involvement in promoting justice in the community, will provide them with an opportunity to apply their knowledge and understanding of local and global justice.

To help raise awareness of the needs of others living in developing countries the students participated in a Caritas Ks event during their lessons on Friday 19th March by walking to and from school around the local area carrying buckets of water for a distance of approximately 3.5 kilometres. Students walked in solidarity with those who have to walk vast distances to access resources we take for granted, such as clean water, education and medical facilities. The students will be seeking donations for the kilometres covered on the day and all monies raised from the event will go to Caritas Australia to help with their work around the world.

Despite the heat of the day and the weight of the buckets, the students participated in the event with a real sense of purpose and enthusiasm. The water made it back to school (for the most part) and the students then watered the trees that had been planted earlier in the day to mark Saint Joseph’s day.
