From visiting the elderly to working on recycling projects, the tasks undertaken make a huge difference within the Santa Maria and wider communities. The reason these co-curriculars are so popular is it allows students to develop values of hospitality and compassion whilst expanding their worldview.
This year’s Service Sign-up Day, held this week, was very successful, and we can’t wait to see what the girls accomplish within their chosen service group over the year.
Below, some of the students share with us the service group they have volunteered for and why they chose that group.I am going to do Uthando Dolls because you get to make dolls and send them to Africa for the children who have nothing. I love making things and sending them to those who need it and that’s why I want to do Uthando Dolls. Amber Goodreid, Year 5
Bianca Stanes (Year 6)I would love to do altar serving for the school masses because I already do it at the other masses that I go to, so why not do it for our school masses. I always love to do altar serving because it is really enjoyable for me.
