Year 10 Homeless Sleepout Experience Despite COVID-19 restrictions, the Year 10 Homeless Sleepout continued this year. The aim of this night is for students to have an experience of what it means to be homeless. The boys found the Sleepout a valuable experience, providing a greater understanding of the challenges associated with homelessness. The boys were involved in activities most of the night and generally 'slept rough' for the evening, with exhaustion hitting them the next day at school. Thank you to all who volunteered to assist on the night. Year 12 Drop-In Centre Experience Once again, the Year 12 students were invited to attend the Townsville Drop In Centre to help cook a hot breakfast for those who have been Townsville homeless. This is an opportunity for our students to live the Touchstones meaningfully, and for our school to offer the students a chance to be compassionate within the community. We hope that by attending the Drop In Centre visits, our students will be inspired to be Edmund Rice People, and to make a difference in their sphere of influence as they move beyond the gates of Ignatius Park College.
