Community Service
The activity programme at Worth aims to give scope and to encourage all students who want to undertake a community service. Community service comes under the remit of the Chaplaincy and is overseen by Father Peter who is assisted by a community service prefect. Many students undertake service to fulfil their Duke of Edinburgh Award commitments. Also, Sixth Formers who are studying the International Baccalaureate need to do service to complete their Creativity, Action and Service commitment.
The current varied programme of service activities include:
- Age Concern Shopping - taking the elderly to and around the supermarket, helping them with their shopping
- Charity Shop assistance - serving and helping in charity shops
- Conservation - caring for and improving the environment, both within the school grounds and in the local community
- Day Centre - assisting and socialising with the elderly over lunch
- Flying Squad - helping the elderly tend their gardens
