Subject Description
Go M.A.D (Make. A. Difference.)
Students are inspired by the words of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop, "Never see a need without doing something about it", to examine community needs and determine meaningful actions to address them.
Students engage in dialogue and reflection, understanding their value and role as active global citizens and how the Church plays a vital role in making a difference to many people and communities.
Through visits and research, this initiative allows students to explore various organisations within local and Australian communities that provide assistance, such as the St Vincent de Paul Society and Foodbank.
Additionally, students have the opportunity to mentor Junior School Mission Leaders and STARS, supporting their social justice projects and events.
Students will be able to:
- Identify areas of community need
- Evaluate their own gifts and talents that can be used and developed to best meet these areas of need.
- Design an action or enterprise to meet the need.
Students provide evidence of their learning through:
- A written or digital portfolio with evidence of research, self and peer assessments, personal reflections and collected images and artefacts
