MISSION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

St Kevin’s has a very active social justice program with a dual focus on awareness and action. Our student Mission Team lead a variety of initiatives throughout the year to help local, national and global causes. 

We have one major social justice initiative per term. Our Mission Team determines how the school will raise awareness and funds to support a variety of charities throughout the year. Some examples of these in 2024 were Project Compassion (Caritas Australia) and Socktober (Catholic Mission). The team is open for any student from Years 3-6. Team members contribute ideas and plan fundraising days tailored to our school. 

To help students develop a fuller understanding and deeper appreciation of our environment, we have a strong focus on looking after our gardens, tree planting, growing vegetables and recycling. We have recently begun a gardening club at school allowing students to demonstrate responsibility to help our natural environment thrive. 

In addition, we are a Nude Food School which encourages students to bring food and snacks in reusable containers to reduce the amount of rubbish.
