Last Term Year 8 students and Year 12 VCE VM students learned about homelessness and how it's an issue for the most vulnerable in our community. The students realised that we as part of the Greater Geelong community can do something to raise awareness of this issue and send 'hope' for change.

For Homelessness Week (4 to 10 August), SHC joined the Houses at Parliament campaign to demand more action to build more public and community housing. The SHC community folded an impressive 2655 houses - what a monumental effort. Well done to all who participated! This tally has been added to the state-wide contribution, which currently stands at 48571 of 60000. 

On each house a message of hope was inscribed, to show support for those affected by homelessness. The folded houses will be displayed in the Atrium as a physical representation of the need in our community for accessible housing.

We are so very proud of our students for their commitment and care for such a worthy cause. Well done to all for your efforts, and for displaying such wonderful Mercy in action.
