Service
Service at Christ Church is concerned with fostering and developing a sense of responsibility and a feeling of care towards others. It involves each student demonstrating a willingness to give time and effort to benefit individuals or groups without expecting return or reward. Service helps students develop a sense of social responsibility and sensitivity to people from different backgrounds and circumstances. Putting others before self is a commitment and a discipline that will live with them as they go through life.
