Story
Students and staff at Saint Ignatius College Geelong are celebrating Refugee Week by participating in ‘The Cage’ and raising funds for Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS).
JRS serve, accompany and advocate for asylum seekers and refugees in Australia and around the world. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, JRS are delivering food to 680 clients each week in Sydney who are facing homelessness due to not qualifying for JobSeeker and JobKeeper. They advocate strongly for change to Australia’s asylum and detention policies and inspire our staff and students to act for this injustice.
On Thursday 16th June 125 students and staff will participate in ‘The Cage’. In previous years, students and staff studied, ate and slept in ‘The Cage’, a cyclone fenced off area at school, for 24 hours to raise awareness about and funds for asylum seekers and refugees.
This year, students will wear a sign stating “I am in the Cage for those who are voiceless” and participate in a silent protest from morning homeroom until they get home to advocate for asylum seekers and refugees who are voiceless. Once home, students will watch and reflect on a film or documentary about the refugee crisis before sleeping out in their backyards. We hope this experience will give our students some insight into the challenges that asylum seekers and refugees face everyday and inspire our students to be people who welcome, advocate for, love and serve asylum seekers and refugees.
We are grateful for your support!
