MATER Christi College students have created an event for the whole community to enjoy, the FairGo-Fair Trade and Ethical Christmas Market.
During the year, the Social Justice and Stewardship (SoJuSt) student team organise various activities including an annual SoJuSt Week.
This year, the students have organised the FairGo market in the lead up to the festive season.
Principal Mary Fitz-Gerald said the SoJuSt activities combined two important values of the college, social justice and stewardship.
“We want students to see the very real links between caring for the environment and the welfare of people across the globe,” Ms Fitz-Gerald said.
The market will be held at the college and features a variety of Fair Trade and Ethical Produce vendors including handmade clothing, arts and crafts, Fair Trade Chocolate, produce stalls as well as the popular food vans.
College SoJuSt captain Alana Majstorovic said they had received great support.
“We are pleased that big organisations like Oxfam as well as local distributors will attend our FairGo market and hope to see many people come along and enjoy the festive atmosphere,” Alana said.
The FairGo market is open to the public from 2pm-8pm on Thursday 26 November.
Tours of the college will also be available at this time.
