What Justice is in the Carmel College Community:


The Oxford dictionary's definition for justice is : Just behaviour or treatment.
It is imporatnt that each student in Carmel College understands how to act with justice so we can treat each other equally. It is also important to take care and treat everyone and everything equally and in the same way. At Carmel, we have events such as cultural day to promote justice in our learning community. Cultural day promotes justice because all different types of cultures are celebrated and treated the same, because they are all different in their own special way, just like us. Other events like the school's 'Asian Awareness Day' shows justice to Asians, because they are the race most vunerable to racism. The school shows justice to Asians by celebrating their culture, and showing all the different Asian contries and how they are different, and not the same.
Everyone has their own definition of justice as shown in this video. So we all need to respect each other and treat everyone with justice no matter who they and whether you like them or not.
Video about what Justice means to People
Sr Mary Justine- Carmel College's founder had the mission to start the school for girls. Sr Mary Justine was giving justice to girls because she was giving them a chance of a good education (not just for boys). She worked very hard starting with just 15 students and no real classrooms. Soon the school grew, and now Carmel has about 1,050 students.
Sr Catherine McAuley that was the founder of the Sister's of Mercy, gave justice to the women and girls for her time. When she lived girls, the poor, and the vunerable were not treated with justice. She treated and helped the unjust by helping and cating for them, and giving them an education. Sr Catherine McAuley's act of justice should continue to motivate and inspire us to give justice to thoose that are threated unjustly. We could start in our own Mercy school, by helping and treating everyone fairly. Click this link to find out more about the Sister's of Mercy
The word justice is also in the Carmel College motto- "Act justly, love tenderly, walk humbly with your God" Micha 6-8
