At ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ 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 ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ 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 ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ 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.
On Ash Wednesday, we officially launched our 2025 First TermAwareness and Fundraiser: the annual Caritas Australia Project CompassionAppeal. Project Compassion began in Australia in 1965, and every year since,Catholic communities, parishes, and schools have come together during Lent witha shared vision of building a more just and equal world by working to endpoverty.
Caritas Australia supports projects worldwide that partnerwith local communities to educate, house, and feed people who often start froma place of poverty due to persecution or dispossession. These projects alignwith the 10 principles of Catholic Social Teachings, particularly the principleof Subsidiarity, where funds raised are not simply given as donations orcharity but are used to enable impoverished communities to identify their ownneeds and actively participate in creating solutions.
Most projects begin with education and training for localpeople to help break the cycle of poverty that exists in their communities. Alldonations, large or small, empower us to stand in Solidarity with those aroundthe world whose circumstances demand Justice.
