Christian Service Learning at Emmanuel Catholic College is grounded in the Gospel values of compassion, justice, service, and respect for human dignity. It is an integral part of our Catholic identity and our commitment to forming students who are socially responsible, empathetic, and committed to the common good.
The primary purpose of Christian Service Learning is to:
• Encourage students to live out their faith through meaningful action
• Foster a spirit of generosity, humility, and service
• Develop awareness of social justice issues
• Promote lifelong habits of community engagement
• Support personal, spiritual, and moral growth
The College does not prescribe a minimum number of service hours. Instead, we seek to instil in students an understanding that service is undertaken for the benefit of others and as an expression of faith, rather than for compliance or reward.
