DO NOT WAIT FOR LEADERS The Justice Education in Catholic Schools (JECS) Committee of the Melbourne Catholic Office for Justice and Peace will again be conducting its annual Student Social Justice Development Day, on Thursday 28th May 2009 at Australian Catholic University, Fitzroy. The event is designed to educate senior secondary students on contemporary social justice issues and their relevance to the Social Teachings of the Church. Schools are invited to nominate four senior students, to be accompanied by a teacher, to attend the forum. There is no cost to the school or students. The forum aligns, as closely as possible, with the theme of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Social Justice Sunday Statement, which in 2009 examines both the issues faced by youth, and the important contribution that youth make to our nation and our world.
