In line with our Mercy Charism, our social justice actions are targeted to respond to identified needs, both within our community and abroad. The school responds to these needs within the Catholic model of social justice of See, Judge, Act (Cardinal Joseph Cardijn, 1882–1967). We believe that our social justice actions allow us to participate in the mission of the Church and educates our students to develop an understanding of the pillars of social justice, as outlined in Catholic Social Teachings and defined through the Gospels.
