The school practises justice within its own community through: identifying, implementing and promoting policies, structures and practices that respect the rights and dignity of all members of the school community; applying Christian stewardship to the resources and environment of the school and establishing just processes of discernment and critical judgement when making decisions. 

The school acts for justice through: implementing policies and practices within the school that nurture a generosity of spirit; reviewing and monitoring the complexity and expense of experiences offered by the school in light of Catholic social teaching and engaging with student initiated and/or local justice projects as part of the curriculum. 

The school consciously reflects on its action for justice through: incorporating practices of review and critique in relation to current actions for justice within the school community and building a reflective component into school social justice practices, celebrations of significant events, and prayer life. 

In the Religious life of the school there are three major components:  justice in the local community - respecting the dignity of all, praying for justice, building a just community; action for justice - applying Catholic Social Teaching, caring for the environment, Learning through Service; and reflection on action for justice - Promoting critical discernment, Building a culture of reflection. 

Social Justice should include following five elements where appropriate.

Charitable actions -We work to aid or assist others both locally and globally to meet their immediate, short-term needs. Examples include engaging in direct service or providing food, clothing, shelter, or monetary assistance to help those in need. This is directed at the efforts of injustice – the symptoms not address the root causes of poverty and injustice, or empower people to understand those issues.  Acts of service should never be to, nor for, but with. When the focus is purely on providing ‘an experience’ we can do damage to students.

Awareness raising actions - Helping people understand the issues, the difference their money and actions is making and that change is happening. Get the facts. Seek the truth. Challenge stereotypes. Educate others. 

Solidarity actions - By walking in their shoes, solidarity actions help people understand more about life for our sisters and brothers around the world who face poverty and injustice daily. By being present with, in relationship to others we honour the humanity and dignity of the individual. This can happen in your school, parish, local community or wider.  There must be clear understandings about the purpose, whose needs are being addressed and not negatively impact on the partner community.  Pre-brief and debrief is essential.

Social justice actions - To affect real and lasting change, the underlying causes of poverty and injustice need to be addressed.  We work to remove the root causes of problems, when we advocate for just government policies, and when we help change the social structures that contribute to suffering and injustice at home and around the world

Reflection upon actions - Reflection is a crucial component to our learning, as it enables us to identify tensions, share resolutions, and nurture knowledge into action. It helps us think more deeply about issues. Reflection has the power to change hearts and also begins to build the bridge toward a justice perspective. This basic level of reflection focuses primarily on students’ emotional responses to their experiences. Pre-Brief and debrief on experiences is essential.
