Programs available
Currie Hall's community service program aims to encourage and support residents to build a stronger community whether on campus, in Perth, Australia, or overseas.
The program focuses on actions both big and small, from supporting global fundraisers to promoting environmental practices within the college.
Community programs
Currie Hall residents have participated in the following community programs.
- Supporting the Red Cross humanitarian relief effort in Myanmar after the devastating cyclone.
- Celebrating National Volunteer Week with a presentation from Volunteering WA and a tree-planting exercise. At the end of semester a huge collection of paper, old lecture notes and books was recycled.
- Thirty-eight Currie Hallers ran in the Activ City to Surf Fun Run and four students helped out as volunteers.
- Selling daffodils to raise funds for the Cancer Council and cooking a feast for sick children and their families at the Ronald McDonald House at Princess Margaret Hospital.
- A team of 20 battled cold, wind and rain to walk more than 130km in less than 24 hours at the inaugural Relay for Life in Joondalup.
- At the end of second semester, a trailer-load of clothes was collected as part of St Catherine’s College project for indigenous communities in the Kimberley region.
Over the whole year, volunteers sold chocolates and donated the proceeds to the John Fawcett Foundation, an organisation providing medical equipment, technology transfer, medical care and advice for families in lower socio-economic groups in Indonesia.
