We are continuing our Christian Service Learning Program this year with a Christian Service Week involving all Year 10 students from Monday 20 November to Friday 24 November, 2017 inclusive. Students will be required to volunteer at various agencies throughout the Canberra region.
At Merici College, our community seeks to live according to the Christian ideals of St. Angela Merici. By making ourselves available to serve others, particularly those most in need, we can participate in creating a more just and compassionate society. During the Service Week, the girls will have a unique opportunity to live out these ideals. In Term 1, Year 10 students have selected their choice of agency. They will be expected to make a commitment of 25 hours to their choice of agency where the majority of their time is spent in direct contact with people in need. This is also an opportunity for the girls to develop their confidence and skills as a servant leader; displaying empathy and a broader understanding of our community.
