Courageous Advocacy
21-22
‘What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God’ (Micah 6:8)
Courageous Advocacy at St Margaret's
Courageous Advocacy is: action-taking, challenging injustice and becoming agents of change. It allows us to transform ourselves and our communities from local level to global.
At St. Margaret's we are all 'agents of change' as we come together to champion causes which are special and meaningful to us. These may be current issues within our school, local community, regional or world wide. We give our time and other resources for the common good.
How can you be an 'advocate for change?'
