In Week 8 of this term the Senior Students were involved in a House Car Wash Challenge. In excellent car washing conditions, a grand total of 68 cars (staff, parent and student cars) were washed in the quadrangle in the afternoon.

The $500 raised was donated to Caritas Australia. There were many laughs, smiles and good times had by all. Thank you to Mrs Irving, Service Learning Coordinator, Travis and Fitzy from Maintenance who assisted on the day. Thank you to Year 12 Student Alex Diamond who helped plan the logistics of this event as well as all the House Captains and Senior Students.

Student Reflections

The Carwash for Caritas was an amazing event that raised money for an important cause. It was great to see so many boys getting around washing the cars, and giving up their time to help out others.

Campbell Burns, Brophy House Captain

The Caritas car wash which was held recently was a great experience for all involved. While we all had lots of fun washing the cars, the amount of money we managed to raise for Caritas as a year level was amazing.

Oliver LaBonte, Jordan House Captain

The most memorable and enjoyable service learning I’ve ever done at Joey's.

Rhys Devlin, Jordan House Captain

Great student lead initiative that contributes to such a wonderful cause. I would highly recommended the boys next year to get involved.

Alexander Dunn, Foley House Captain

The Carwash was a big success driven by student leadership and a great initiative to raise money for Caritas. Hopefully this becomes an annual event in the future.

Angus Codd, Butler House Captain
