Making a Heartfelt Impact: TC's Social Justice Club, Helping Hearts!

Did you know that TC has its very own social justice club? Well, it's true, and it's called Helping Hearts!

Every Thursday at lunchtime, we meet in TC's new Library next to the canteen, to discuss matters that mean a lot to us like gender equality and poverty. We brainstorm ways and implement strategies to make our community feel safer, and educated, and to spread kindness.

Social justice is justice about the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society where individuals' rights are recognized and protected. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice

A very exciting thing that has been in the works for a while now is finally complete, and we are so excited to share it with the TC community!

We have officially created and launched our Helping Hearts Instagram account, and we are ecstatic to extend ourselves and spread positivity. Our goal was to help advertise the events we run and to help encourage cordiality within the school community.

One of the events we ran last year was a fundraiser at TC's dance showcase for the NGO Kids Under Cover organisation. We raised over $150, which couldn’t have happened without the generous and kind people who made purchases and donations to support our fundraiser and Kids Under Cover. We plan to run many more fundraisers in the future and are open to any suggestions for an event you might have to help support a not-for-profit group or organisation. (If you have any suggestions please feel free to contact us or Cassidy Trousdale who helps facilitate!)

If you haven't heard, we've organized a self-defence class for our FLE2's (Year 9) with Proactivity (https://www.proactivity.com.au/) on the 24th of July.

Created in 2007,  "Proactivity strives to provide quality and impact-driven Physical Activity Incursion programs." Their self-defence incursion incorporates a range of essential motor skill development in the areas of martial arts and karate.

"Our Self Defence and Respectful Relationships workshops are designed around protection skills, safe and unsafe behaviours."

We wanted our peers to learn how to protect themselves and feel empowered. We are so excited about this event and can't wait to learn new skills from the Proactivity team next Tuesday!

Book via compass events, but be quick, there are only 25 spots available!
