This service learning program involves giving food packages to those in need - by setting up the service area, serving the clients that come in, having pastoral conversations as the need arises and being missionaries in the third poorest council area in Australia. The program builds on our culture of inclusivity and building ‘future focussed learners’ who are ‘empowered, thoughtful and community minded citizens’ (Taking the Alpha Generation to Excellence). 14 CO-CURRICULUM REPORT
