On Wednesday 16 May our School Chaplain, Mrs Thompson along with Brooke (Year 10), Jadie (Year 10) and Lachlan (Year 11) attended the World Vision Global Leaders day.
They thoroughly enjoyed the day and the students were inspired to be those in the Senior School that take the running on organising the 40 Hour Famine in August; World Vision’s major fundraising event.
The timing of the convention was particularly significant for one of the students who had just started a part-time job and had already been thinking about using the wages to support a sponsor child through Compassion.
The student said “Why not use my money to help those who need it otherwise I would just be spending it on stuff I don’t need anyway!”
It’s wonderful when we see our young people taking seriously Jesus words about “whatever you do for the least of these you do it for Me”.
