Community service and forging connections A partnership between AnglicareSA’s Youth Services team and St John’s
“The school, through its Leader of Wellbeing Danielle Kemp, was looking for a service opportunity for students which was meaningful and a way for them to feel like they were giving back to the community,” Rebecca said. “At the same time, our team was looking for ways to provide a program for young people living in out-of- home care across Adelaide, where they could come along and meet other young people who are there to support and mentor them. “We also wanted them to be able to hang out and meet other kids who, like them, are living in out-of-home care through various agencies. “This is an opportunity for them to connect with others and build a sense of community.”
Grammar School in Belair is helping create a sense of connection while potentially uncovering the community services workforce of the future. During the July school holidays, St John’s Grammar students led activities for 12 young people living in out-of-home care across Adelaide, including baking brownies, having a kick with AFLW Crows stars, arts, crafts, and games. AnglicareSA Participation and Wellbeing Coordinator, Rebecca Walker, said the partnership between Youth Services and St John’s Grammar supporting children in out-of-home care was based on mutual aspirations.
