In Matthew 25:40, Jesus reminds us:

'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

At Grammar, our students are regularly encouraged and given many opportunities to live out this call to compassion and service. Recently, our Year 11 and 12 students had the privilege of hearing from guest speakers from Rainbow House, a charity dedicated to providing education and nutrition to orphans and vulnerable children in Lusaka, Zambia, and World Vision, a global organisation committed to bringing global change.

Many of our students have been inspired and are preparing to take part in the 40-Hour Famine, an initiative of World Vision that celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Through this challenge, students will give up something meaningful for 40 hours, standing in solidarity with children and families around the world who face hunger and hardship daily. It has been a blessing to see the enthusiasm and compassion of our students as they model faith in action and look to make a real difference.
