"We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Social Service is a student-run group at Mac.Rob that co-ordinates, organises and promotes events within the school community that both advocate and fundraise for social issues. The Social Service committee is a dedicated group of students that are concerned by social inequalities such as homelessness, global and Australian poverty, and seek to help those less fortunate than us. Our mission statement is to increase social awareness at Mac.Rob. Every year, each form class selects a Social Services Representative who attend fortnightly meetings (every second Tuesday at recess in L.103), and in turn inform their class of upcoming events and opportunities. Each year every class selects a charity, and it is also the representatives’ responsibility to co-ordinate and organise the classes fundraising and advocacy events which are run throughout the year. This year we have launched the "Forms Fundraising Competition", which aims to increase the efforts of forms to fundraise and advocate for their charity by offering an incentive to do this. As a group, we also run other events for the whole school community, in order to raise awareness of social justice issues.
We encourage all students to become involved in Social Service, and to make 2010 ‘the year of giving.’
