At Assumption College, we follow the motto Quae Supra Quaere – seek the things that are above. For our co-curricular program, that takes on many meanings.
We provide students with creative and competitive outlets that define a celebration of talent, skill, perseverance and fellowship.
In every form of expression and in every sport, we reach for the things that are above. We continually grow and meet new challenges. Side-by-side, we learn from every defeat, victory and breakthrough.
And, from within, we look beyond ourselves and our community to attain an understanding of society as a whole – not as passive observers but as active participants.
That’s Social Justice at Assumption College. Students examine issues in both rural and urban areas, with opportunities to take part in initiatives that benefit society.
Our goal is to prepare students for life beyond the Assumption campus. Social Justice is integral to achieving this – instilling young thinkers and doers with a sense of community and societal responsibility.
The result? An engaging platform that fosters compassion, confidence and character.
As the festive season approaches, we turn our hearts to raising funds for the St Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Appeal. This year, hundreds of families across Victoria will face a Christmas without the comfort of family, gifts under the tree or a traditional dinner on the table.
Our generosity can help make their Christmas a little more merry and bright. As part of this initiative, each Learning Mentor Group will be responsible for assembling a hamper of food and money for a Christmas ham, which will be delivered to a family in need.
You are also invited to buy a Christmas pudding or Christmas cake from local family business, Alpine Valley Fine Foods, using this link for purchases . Proceeds of the sale will go directly to Vinnie’s, as they bring holiday cheer to families doing it tough.
