Year 9 Service Project

In Year 9, students embark on a transformative experience known as the Service Project. This unique, collaborative, project-based learning module propels students into immersive educational endeavours that contribute meaningfully to both the school community and the broader society. The overarching goal is to ignite within students a spirit of independent initiative and compassion, fostering growth in problem-solving, creative thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. In Semester One, students are guided in groups of five or six to engage in service learning within the local community, particularly the school community. In Semester Two, students engage with organisations that provide non-for-profit services to the wider community and apply their skills to support a need within these communities. Students present the results of these projects in a formal setting in front of a panel of guest judges from the local community. The Service Project represents a pivotal moment where formal education converges with real-world impact, shaping students into dynamic individuals ready to face the challenges of the future with resilience and innovation.
