‘No act of kindness is ever wasted’ – Aesop

 

Engaging in community service provides students with the opportunity to become active members of their community and has a lasting, positive impact on society at large.

Community service enables students to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to those who need it most. These are some of the common benefits of participating in a community service program:

​

1 Community service develops an increased sense of social responsibility – a global view of

society and a heart for ‘giving back’ and helping others.

1. Provides an opportunity to apply academic learning to real life events.

​

2. Builds relationships and ‘social connectedness’ with peers and adults, and exposes students to

diversity and multiculturalism.

​

3. Improves lifelong communication, interpersonal and critical thinking skills.
