Justice and Mercy News
We were thrilled to launch this year’s Justice and Mercy (JAM) program on Friday of Week 2! The JAM group is the bedrock of SAC’s Mercy Values. With a meeting each week dedicated to team-building, discussion, reflection and action, JAM provides engaging ways for students between Years 6-12 to come together to make a difference in our local community and to learn more about issues that affect us all. Some exciting initiatives coming up include:
- Thursday 13 February (Week 3) – Anniversary of the Apology to the Stolen Generations
- Friday 7 March (Week 6) – International Women’s Day
- 17-21 March (Week 8) – Harmony Week
- Thursday 20 March (Week 8) – An Evening with Gemma Sisia AM, Founder of The School of St Jude. See flyer below for further details and RSVP at this link by Thursday 13 March: https://www.trybooking.com/CYZRM
- Ongoing opportunities each week to volunteer at Sister Janet Mead’s Adelaide Day Centre for Homeless Persons.
This year, we welcome recent Old Scholar, Grace Campbell, who graduated last year, to the role of JAM Student Support Coordinator. We look forward to seeing many student from Years 6-12 at our weekly JAM meeting – held Fridays at lunch time in the McAuley Auditorium, unless otherwise advised.
