Social Justice Report 

The Social Justice team would like to thank everyone for their great contribution to the Food Bank with a particular shout out to 8 Clark for their generous contribution. All the cans have now been delivered to the Food Bank and distributed to needy families. 

In Term 3 our fundraising focus will be with the Resurrection Buyaga Vocational College in Uganda. Every Year 10 RE class will be organising fundraising events at lunchtime. These events range from sausage sizzles, to hot chocolate drives. It is our aim that each class will raise $120. This money will be used to pay the fees so a student can attend school for the year.

Another fundraising event for the Resurrection Buyaga Vocational College is the CRC St Albans Cultural Dance Fundraiser Night. This event will include a light dinner and celebrate our diverse community with dance. The night will be on Friday 13th September, 2024. Tickets cost $5 per person.

The Catholic Earthcare group have been very productive. They have established a worm farm and compost for the school's waste.  The earth group has also built a scarecrow.

The Animators Group has reformed to develop another refugee story. This year they will focus on a story from a Vietnamese family within our school.

Praying Our School Values

Each of CRC St Albans Values are linked to a piece of scripture.

Community We are many but one in Christ Romans 12:5

Respect God created humankind in Gods image Genesis 1:12

Equality For you are all one in Jesus Christ Galations 3:28

Support He climbed into the book Mark 6:51

Understanding God said to Moses I am who I am Exodus 3:14

Learn I have that you have life to the full John 10:10

Positive relationships Love one another as I loved you

Over the next six weeks staff and students will explore each value through prayer.  The following is an excert from our values statement:

Here in our community, each person is sacred and unique, and therefore deserves to be treated with dignity an respect. Diversity is one of our greatest strengths and we strive to live together in harmony, giving each other support, understanding and a fair go. Together, we work to build a safe and welcoming school environment, which offers each person the freedom to learn. In living out these values, we will build strong positive relationships and show our true colours.
