Throughout this year the Social Justice Society (SJS) have worked hard towards creating and delivering social justice campaigns throughout the college. Through the beginning of the year, we as a group brainstormed and developed our own understanding of what social justice was for us. Whilst additionally developing our understanding of how as a group would be able to deliver effective innovations with the intention of delivering social justice. Following establishing our understanding we then marked out the needs within our college community in an attempt to improve these issues. Specifically, issues we discussed included mental health ,self improvement and self worth. To improve this within the community we as a group created numerous kindness boxes which sit in various spots within the Senior Learning Centre. These boxes contain numerous positive affirmations for other students to take and read during their study periods. Overall SJS was a success this year and we would like to thank Mr Hoare and Miss Tan for their guidance whilst inviting any Year 11 or Year 10 students interested in social justice to consider joining the group next year.
