Senior School Islamic Studies

The significance of charity is evident within our faith. In order to collectively explore the concept of charity at a local level, the Year 12 Stage 2 Religion Studies class, created, organised and run a charity campaign on Tuesday the 29th of March.

Through the cooperation of the Hutt Street Centre and their Angel for a Day program, our senior students were able to cooperatively understand the benefits of giving to others preparing a meal for the homeless.

The Angel for a Day campaign successfully provides up to 40 000 meals, lunches, and breakfast every year for individuals experiencing homelessness. Our students, involved in the preparation of these meals, were able to display their empathy for people experiencing homelessness and reflect on the lives of those that struggle with contrasting lifestyles.

The Year 12 Religion Class went to Marion Mosque in the morning to cook the meals to be donated to the homeless and then delivered it to Hutt Street Centre in the afternoon. All students felt a sense of generosity and gratitude to be able to assist those that may be in need or suffering within society. This excursion ultimately assisted in the understanding of charity as well as the spiritual significance such a notion can have on an individual, whether it that be at a local level benefitting those in our local communities or at a global level contributing to worldwide charity organisations.
