Saint Ignatius College Geelong
The Justice and Environment teams have hit the ground running this year! As your Justice and Environment Captains, we’ve been lucky to work closely together, supporting each other’s initiatives and helping both teams grow. It’s been awesome to see so many students getting involved already!
One of the highlights so far has been our combined team meeting, where students interested in the Environment Team got a sneak peek into the Justice Team and vice versa. We’re really excited to see more crossover between the two teams, and can’t wait to work together on future projects.
We also kicked off the year with a lunchtime litter pick, where a group of students volunteered their time to help clean up the school grounds. They collected rubbish from garden beds, walkways, and other areas, making a real difference. It was amazing to see everyone stepping up to take care of our environment!
To say thanks, volunteers earned Affirmation Awards and community service hours—a small reward for their community-minded attitude. We hope even more students get involved next time.
Next up, we’re diving into Project Compassion. Keep an eye on XUNO and the Vivi screens over the next few weeks to see how you can help with our fundraising efforts.
We’re also gearing up for Earth Hour on March 22nd. This global movement is all about switching off lights to raise awareness for climate action. Stay tuned for how we’ll be marking the occasion at school and how you can get involved at home.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far - we’re excited for what’s to come this year!
