The School of St Jude was founded in 2002 by an Australian woman, Gemma Sisia, with a big dream to bring the opportunity of free, quality education to children living in poverty.
Today, St Jude's provides free education to 1,800 bright, poor primary and secondary students, supports 100s of graduates with access to higher education and provides more than 20,000 government school students with volunteer teachers each year.
St Jude's continues to fight poverty through education, thanks to generous supporters around the world.
Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC) has sent students and teachers to St Jude's since 2010. The tour, which takes place in Term 3 of Year 10 helps students build relationships with the school and highlights the positive outcomes of equal opportunity to education, work, advancement and giving back to the community.
Each tour has a fundraising target of $15,000 with all the money going directly to St Jude’s. If you would like to help the MLC students reach (and even exceed) this fundraising goal, please donate using the link below.
St Jude’s is a registered charity with tax deductibility status in Australia. Thanks to generous supporters around the world, the school provides education to thousands of primary, secondary and higher education students.
