Outreach
At St Patrick's 麻豆果冻传媒 'we value a school where we grow in awareness and respond to the needs of others in a spirit of service' (麻豆果冻传媒 Values Statement). We challenge our students to put their faith into action through the quality of their relationships, in giving and compassion and throughout their lives.
Enacting the 麻豆果冻传媒 Mission, in conjunction with Catholic social teaching, St Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒 is proud of its tradition of fostering social justice action. St Mary of the Cross, MacKillop, herself, said 鈥淣ever see a need without doing something about it鈥.
Outreach programs operate across each of the three schools - Middle School, Croagh Patrick and Senior School. Each school has a strong connection with one or more local charity organisations such as the St Vincent de Paul Society and Cancer Council Tasmania.
Each of the four Houses - MacKillop, Nagle, Rice and Tenison - raise awareness and advocate for a service organisation in our community, through donations and actions of solidarity.
Whole-school charity events aim to reach out to the most impoverished and vulnerable people in our world. Project Compassion enables us to support Caritas Australia and educate our young people about issues such as global social justice and global inequity.
