At St Columba's we take our responsibility to take action seriously. We aspire to help create a world that is more equitable, peaceful and just. We also know that assisting our students to see the outcome of their positive choices helps to empower them as citizens who can make a difference.
We are in a unique position at St Columba's as our parish includes Sacred Heart St Kilda and in turn Sacred Heart Mission. There are many ways we support and nurture this connection including:
In addition to this, our school looks for other opportunities to assist those in need locally, nationally and globally. Some examples include:
One of the messages we send to our students is that helping others is not just about fundraising. We love opportunities where students are connected and able to make age appropriate contributions to make a difference. This may be a Prep student choosing to give up a book or toy that is in good condition, a Year 3 who donates a coat they no longer need, or a Year 5 who writes a heartfelt letter to someone in the Sacred Heart Mission Aged Care residence that brings them joy.
We respectfully acknowledge the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the Country on which we learn and play.
We pay respect to ongoing living cultures of First Peoples, their ancestors and their Elders; past, present and emerging.
