2012 Service Project Commissioning

Service Projects are once again under way and we trust that each boy will be greatly enriched by their experiences.   

Our Goals:

Ignatian education strives to develop people of competence, conscience and compassion. At the College this is a collaborative process amongst staff and students that fosters personal and cooperative study, discovery, creativity and reflection to promote lifelong learning and action in service to others.

Service Projects at St George's includes the following elements: context, experience, reflection, action and evaluation. Through consideration of the factors and context of students' lives, we create an environment where students recollect their past experiences and assimilate information from newly provided experiences. As staff, we help students learn the skills and techniques of reflection, which shape their consciousness, and they can then challenge students to action through service to others.

For St Ignatius, love is shown in deeds, not words. We hope that students are impelled to move beyond knowing to action - action that is for the welfare of society. Through experiences that have been reflected upon, students make the truth their own and are better equipped to serve others.
