St Laurence’s College - Faith in Action Program

The Faith in Action initiative at St Laurence’s College, rooted in Jesus Christ’s teachings and Edmund Rice’s charism, combines faith with practical service through programs like Houses in Action and Music in Action. The Houses in Action program operates across ten pastoral houses, engaging students in various missions from supporting veterans’ families to helping hospitalized children, while Music in Action builds connections between the college, primary school, and parish through musical engagement. Supported by strong leadership and parental involvement, the initiative demonstrates success through high participation rates and significant personal growth outcomes, serving as an effective model for integrating faith with action in Catholic education while fostering student wellbeing, inclusivity, and holistic development within both the college and broader community.
