ART WITH A SOCIAL CONSCIENCE Shea specialises in landscape photography and recently took a special trip down to Victor Harbor to snap a few sunsets especially for the exhibition. “I’ve taken a lot of photos of landscapes and sunsets recently, all of which were available for sale at the exhibition.” A down to earth and socially conscious young lady, Shea is passionate about the work that we do here at AnglicareSA. “I really like the way that AnglicareSA offers such a broad range of services,” Shea said. “Like help for homeless people, an issue that we studied a lot at school last year, and counselling services for those who have experienced loss and grief, which I think is really important.” Held at Pedare Christian College Senior School on February 18, the eclectic exhibition was a massive hit with the community and helped raise more than $1,031. Due to Shea’s keen interest in helping the homeless, as well as those who have recently experienced the loss of a significant person, all proceeds raised have gone towards helping to fund our emergency services and loss and grief programs. Well done Shea!
Pedare Christian College angel, Shea.
E ach year we grant a group of South Aussie students the special opportunity of being our lead ‘angels’. The role of the AnglicareSA angels is to help us with our extensive fundraising endeavours. This year our angels hail from Pedare Christian College in Golden Grove, a school with a long history of partnering with us to help the community. As part of the school’s year 10 curriculum, students are asked to conduct a community based ‘personal project’. Designed to get students out of the classroom, the personal project is a great way of encouraging students to get out of their comfort zone and interacting with the community. Being an angel school is a big responsibility, and one that all of our Anglican schools take very seriously. But few students have embraced the idea with such vigour and verve as Shea Stringer. A talented photographer and painter, Shea decided to use her personal project to host a special, one-off exhibition to help raise funds for some of our most vital services. “I personally enjoy photography the most, but I really love art as well because it feels more expressive,” Shea said.
