Community Service We teach our girls to "Give Back" and help in the community.  All our girls do 15 hours of service in the community each term.
For one and a half hours every week, the senior school girls go out into the community to work in local kindergartens, a school, the nearby hospital, plant trees, or paint murals - all to give back to the community we live in.
