Immersions

Immersions Ethical Consideration:

As members of a Church concerned for the wellbeing of all, the Diocese of Sandhurst and schools within the Diocese regularly engage in social justice actions and awareness raising activities with the aim of creating a more socially just world.

Actions taken by schools to help create a more socially just world might include things such as:

  • Education about the historical and contemporary factors that cause inequity & oppression
  • Education about ethical global citizenship & what this entails
  • Awareness raising through targeted activities – e.g. Project Compassion activities, White Ribbon Day
  • Fundraising e.g. St Vincent de Paul, Caritas
  • Raising funds for religious orders who work in communities both locally & overseas
  • Living responsibly by purchasing ethically sourced products e.g. avoiding products made through slave or indentured labour
  • Lobbying governments through letter writing
  • Immersion experiences

Just Visiting:

Caritas Australia works to end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity because we believe it is a necessary response to the Gospel call of Jesus. This response is central to our faith, and is also central to every Australian Catholic school’s identity. Our response to the complex issues and situations we and our students will face as people of faith, must be rooted in love and a deep respect for human dignity. This service has long been understood an integral aspect of living our faith.

Just Leadership Days

Refugee Week 

 'As God’s children who believe in Jesus’ way of love and compassion, we pray for all those who have been forced from their home and those who are in need of protection. We also pray in a special way for the leaders of our country, that they will be fair and just in responding to the needs of the Refugees and Asylum seekers who have come to this country, and in demonstrating to them what it truly means to be Australian by giving them a “fair go”.'
