Welcome to Community Service!
This is the place where it’s all happening…literally…for your community!
So, what exactly is Community Service all about?
It’s about volunteering, giving back to the community that gives to you. Each student is strongly encouraged to complete 20 hours of community service by the end of Year 12. Volunteering can take on many forms:
- Sports Carnival marshals
- Umpiring and coaching sports
- Leading Cattle
- Senior’s Christmas Luncheon
- Wood chopping
- Driver Reviver
- Musical Productions
- Horsepower
- ANZAC & Vietnam Veterans Day
- Bus washing
- Shire Works Partnership
- Senior’s Leading program
- Empowering Seniors
- Scouts
- Volunteers Week activities
- Homelessness Sleepout
- Fundraising / raffle ticket selling
So, what’s in it for me? You get to develop your hard and soft skills; broaden your social network and contacts; build your confidence and self-esteem; try out potential careers and so on. More importantly, you will show prospective employers that you have initiative and are prepared to step out of your comfort zone!
This is where the story get’s better! If you complete the Community Service Endorsed Program book and achieve 50 hours service, you will earn one ‘C’ grade towards your WACE! How easy is that?
Community Service is a win-win opportunity that benefits both you and your community for very little…only your time!
