At ¸Û²Ê¿ª½±, Service Learning is integral to both our Curriculum and Co-curricular activities. Through our local and global partnerships, ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± students can connect with the wider community to share their faith and grow into global citizens.
As part of the Service Learning Program, teams of ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± students and staff regularly travel to developing countries to support communities and experience life beyond Australia. This includes countries such as Uganda, Cambodia, and Indonesia. These trips are an adventure of a lifetime, where students experience the joy of meeting people from another culture and the challenges they face every day.
In Uganda, students help to build dormitories, visit local homes and schools in the villages, stop in at the sustainability farms, shop at markets and enjoy local activities. For students visiting Indonesia, they experience service learning by supporting local schools, meeting local families and community fundraising. Students on our service learning experiences regularly take part in local chapel and church services, deepening and broadening their Christian Faith.
Over the years, our Christian Service teams have also visited schools in Sumatra and Cambodia to see the local impact of student fundraising and other service learning programs. ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± families have also hosted international students in their own homes as part of the program.
