Testimonials

At Diocesan School for Girls, service is a core value. Our motto Ut Serviamus (that we may serve), inspires our Service Learning Philosophy to make a difference in our communities.  We implemented Be The Change in our Senior School in 2021 across a whole year level. Each year it gives our students the skills to research, investigate and take action in reciprocal service as action. It provides our students the knowledge and tools to approach real life Service Learning and empowers them to leave our school and go out into the world as respectful global citizens, ready to make real change.

As a school we opted for the Be the Change programme as it delivers an important service curriculum which greatly benefits our students. When students leave our school, we want them to be active global citizens and this programme empowers them to be this as they embark on their life beyond the school classroom. This programme is designed online which gives us as a school more flexibility on how we can deliver it to best suit our students needs. The platform is easy to navigate and the resources are excellent. Everything is planned online which means less stress for the teacher overseeing the programme. Students have found it very engaging and enjoy researching needs in the local community to support. I would highly recommend this service programme.

We have had the pleasure of working with Orenda Learning as a provider of the Be the Change course for our high school student organisation leaders. The participation in the course is growing due to student demand as we are finding it an extremely versatile option in developing the necessary action-oriented leadership capacity of our students. We love that the course can be taken in its entirety or in parts to support the needs of the program (guided by the teacher facilitator). The added benefit of the independent participation option for students is extremely helpful for those students looking to develop their understanding of making change and becoming the agents of change we all hope them to be.

Our motto at Dulwich is ‘Graduate Worldwise’. Service isn’t really best learnt from a book or watching a video, it needs time, thought, reflection and practice. Be The Change provides a connected learning experience to firstly establish essential mindsets and attitudes towards service and then, a wonderfully curated progression of service approaches, behaviours and best practices developed over time. A wide number of our schools have taken on the BTC program and it has greatly enhanced our efforts of personal contributions to effective service in the collective context of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Green School Bali prides itself on its service learning programs. Yet we've noticed that they often fall short of our intended goals. We began using the Be The Change program in the high school. Students who have taken the course feel more empowered, and more knowledgeable about what a true service program should accomplish. Be The Change has given them the tools they need to put together truly meaningful and impactful programs, on their own. They have become the experts. I've been so impressed with how students have responded that I've recommended that Be The Change become a required course for all Green School Bali high school students.

The Be The Change course provided an eye-opening learning experience for my students and a refreshing professional development opportunity for myself. The course is thoughtfully designed, user friendly, and informative while manageable for students to complete along with their other responsibilities. The support and consultancy provided by Orenda Learning was very helpful in setting up the program for students and in discussing how to use the material to build upon my Service Learning program. Following completion of the course, my students feel empowered to apply their skills to personal development as well as their Service Learning projects.

We are dedicated to our mission, with strong foundations, efficient systems and practises that encourage authenticity.

Our Motivations

We are at a time of great change on our planet, nearing a tipping point where, as a collective human race, we need to make a significant positive shift in order to cope with global challenges and the uncertain future of humanity and the natural world.

The present climate sees a split in reality for the general populace. Those that ‘have’ can sometimes be preoccupied with the external, consumed with wants driven by mainstream society. Those that ‘have not’ often exist in a daily struggle to ensure that their basic needs are met.

As technology advances and becomes more embedded, many have lost the desire and ability to connect on a deep level with their surroundings – this includes human to human connection, and human to natural world.

Our young people have a natural ability to connect and lead their lives from their hearts rather than their minds. It is essential that the education system plays a role in fostering this quality in students, giving them the space and opportunity to develop sustained and productive relationships with their global community, and take informed action to work alongside that community to bring about positive change in the world around them.
