Service

The best way to lead is to serve. Service is what celebrates personal development through hands-on experience that actively brings sustainable support to others. By engaging with local and wider communities through voluntary activities organised by the Community Service Group or students’ self-initiated non-profit projects, we can promote social action that is based on a compassionate understanding of challenges faced by under-privileged individuals and communities in need of support in our society.

Every year, the Community Service Group provides a myriad of volunteering opportunities for St. Paulians to engage in serving the community. Last year, we offered services such as the EQ Ambassador Programme, UNICEF Young Envoys Programme, tutoring opportunities with different NGOs like SOCO and HAC, and many more. Our students collectively volunteered for over 2000 recorded hours according to the HKFYG “Easy Volunteer” Volunteer Service Award.

From our experience in voluntary tutoring at the Society for Community Organisation, we learnt to give back to the grassroots community and recognise our privilege as SPCC students. Through helping underprivileged children with their homework every week at the centre, we learnt to recognise the immediate needs of those who are not as privileged as we are, which helped us develop service projects that could target their specific needs. The experience not only made us realise the importance of commitment and passion in service projects, but also aided us in becoming compassionate and caring learners.

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Through continuing collaborations with different NGOs as well as carrying out new initiatives, the Community Service Group hopes to continue to foster a caring and encouraging environment for students to serve our community this year.
