All boys are required to complete our traditional service-learning program, the Waterford Project,  by the end of Term 3

Apart from the numerous community-based choices your son has eg surf clubs, sports clubs, parish, etc, the College offers the chance to complete this program in some of the following ways:

1. Open Day assistance (5 hours)
2. Homeless Sleepout (29 April, Term 2)
3. Clean Up Australia Day (any day of choice)
4. Edmund Rice International – walk, run, cycle, swim, surf, skate.  This program is to raise money for local organisations of your choice
5. St John’s Ambulance First Aid course
6. Portfolio Involvement
7. Peer Mentoring – assisting other students by helping them with learning or sports etc
8. Salvo’s Appeal

Please ask your son to see me, or his Religious Education teacher, if he would like more information on the above opportunities. There are many other examples of opportunities your son has to complete the program, of 15 hours Service for others, by the end of Term 3.

Edmund Rice Honours is a special award for those boys who achieve more than 100 hours in a year. Normally, the College awards 80-85 students per year. A wonderful achievement of service and giving by these boys.
