At Assumption College, we follow the motto Quae Supra Quaere – seek the things that are above. For our co-curricular program, that takes on many meanings.
We provide students with creative and competitive outlets that define a celebration of talent, skill, perseverance and fellowship.
In every form of expression and in every sport, we reach for the things that are above. We continually grow and meet new challenges. Side-by-side, we learn from every defeat, victory and breakthrough.
And, from within, we look beyond ourselves and our community to attain an understanding of society as a whole – not as passive observers but as active participants.
That’s Social Justice at Assumption College. Students examine issues in both rural and urban areas, with opportunities to take part in initiatives that benefit society.
Our goal is to prepare students for life beyond the Assumption campus. Social Justice is integral to achieving this – instilling young thinkers and doers with a sense of community and societal responsibility.
The result? An engaging platform that fosters compassion, confidence and character.
Throughout Term 4, our social justice focus turns closer to home as we raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.
Each LMG will be responsible for assembling a hamper of food and money for a Christmas ham which will be delivered to a local family.
Staff and students are invited to choose a tag from the Christmas tree in the new Faith Office and purchase a supermarket gift card which will enable a local family to buy what they need.
