Jesus’ promise of “Life in all its Fullness” is also a call for social justice. It demands that we recognise the inherent worth and value of all people, whatever their backgrounds and whatever their circumstances. It is also a recognition of the fragile reality of lived human existence and a call to action.
Shocking events and movements for change around the world regularly shine lights on issues of inequality, prejudice and discrimination which pervade our society. Scientific research tells us about the grave dangers to our natural environment unless we take action collectively to save our planet.
So many of our young people are better informed about these issues than ever before and are passionate about doing something to make a difference to our school community and beyond. As adults, they are a source of inspiration and hope for the future and we have much to learn from them.
As a community, we strive to work together to empower our young people to lead on the changes they want to see in the world. We want them to advocate courageously for others, to take social action and to lead on tackling the issues of their generation, both during their time at school, but also in the communities they live and work in as adults.
‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.’ – Margaret Mead
We have a number of joint student staff initiatives to explore the issues in our school community and beyond, to educate ourselves and others, and to take action to bring about positive change. Click on the links below to find out about each group’s vision, aims and actions:
