Youth Ministry 

At the heart of St Matthews Catholic School’s mission is guiding young people to Jesus through opportunities that nurture Christian discipleship. Students are encouraged to engage with the wider Church by attending diocesan and national youth events such as Rise, Ignite and the Australian Catholic Youth Festival. 

Our student leadership team leads youth ministry by modelling discipleship, fostering prayer and service, and encouraging peers to live their faith. Through programs like school retreats, and social justice initiatives, they create opportunities for students to grow in faith, leadership, and service within the wider Church community.

Service is another key dimension, with initiatives like Mini Vinnies, the Social Justice Team, and Service Learning, alongside major fundraising appeals each term including Project Compassion, St Vincent de Paul Winter and Christmas Appeals, and Catholic Missions. 

In addition to these campaigns numerous other charitable causes are supported throughout the year to highlight Christ’s call to call for the marginalised.

These experiences form students as disciples who live out Christ’s call to serve the marginalised and guide our vision of answering the Call to be More.
