We explored so much more than the religious beliefs of the Good Samaritan Sisters; we delved deeper into our own values. We specifically did a deep dive on Homelessness, Diversity and First Nations peoples — completing mission statements in inter-school writing groups.

We were able to meet many people from a wide range of schools in Australia— making lasting friendships and relationships with other colleges. Hearing about their experiences and proactivity within their communities in achieving justice in the form of school initiatives was inspiring, making us grateful for being a part of the Good Samaritan Community.

Being involved in Prophetic Voice was an inclusive experience as we were able to share our own perspectives, open up about our personal beliefs, explore our own ideas, as well being able to hear from a range of backgrounds.

Although there is a lot of work that comes with this role, it is worth the effort as it opened our eyes deeply into the experiences of others. As a Prophetic voices member you not only represent yourself as an individual of justice but rather the nature of initiative within the College, improving all facets of College life through open discussion and ambition. As a member, you are not only able to develop your passions but also your communication skills as you will often be liaising about initiatives between the student and staff body.
