Community Service – Salvation Army Appeal
Service Learning extends learning beyond the classroom and into the local community. It is about developing empathy and compassion for others in our community through gaining a deeper understanding of their life circumstances. It is encouraged that each student of the College will engage in and contribute to a local organisation.
Last Saturday and Sunday 21 and 22 May, students from Years 6-12 volunteered to assist the Salvation Army with its annual Red Shield Appeal campaign. Due to COVID, the traditional door knock appeal has been replaced with various collection points around Launceston accepting coins, cash and card. This Saturday 28 May more students will be volunteering at Bunnings North Launceston from 10.00am – 4.00pm and Launceston Quadrant Mall from 10.00am – 2.00pm. Drop by and say hello and give a little to help out someone in need in our community. If you cannot drop by, please consider donating via the Scotch Oakburn College digital doorknock. Any amount, no matter how small, makes a big difference.
