Community
Service is the idea of giving your efforts, willingly and free
of charge, to an individual or organization that benefits from
your help. Community service is not doing your chores (that’s
part of being a family) nor is it helping a business.
Community service means that you are helping those without the
resources to help themselves, or helping a non-profit agency.
In an
ideal world all students would automatically
be
doing just this. But we know that sometimes a push, big or
small, is necessary to get people started on something
beneficial that they might not necessarily have arrived at on
their own. That is why our school, like many private and
public schools around the world, has introduced a community
service promotion and graduation requirement.
Community
Service is one of the primary ways that we can teach our
students citizenship. We at Queen’s College believe that to be
a good citizen, one has to learn the value of giving to your
community. We hope that this becomes a lifelong value for each
of our students. |
