Mr Nicholas Stansbie Dean of Students Years 7-9
“
Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities.”
Three hundred Year 9 students from TSS and St Hilda’s were challenged on Tuesday 15 June this year, when they came together to reflect on actions they could take to make the world a better place for those who are less fortunate. The Year 9 student leadership teams from both schools interviewed representatives from a diverse group of local charities and organisations, who are engaged in important social justice work. The interviewees were: Jim Chapman, who, together with fellow 2017 graduates Sandy Hickson and Nathaniel Poynting, has founded a social enterprise, the Nice Coffee Company, which supplies coffee both through mail order and via a mobile coffee van throughout Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The company has been established to raise funds for St John’s School in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya, and has provided invaluable support to the school, particularly during the COVID crisis.
