CaSPA Social Action Funding 2023

Compass College – Davoren Park, SA

The plan for this Social Action was for the Compass College students to design some outdoor furniture, which would be jointly constructed at St. Patrick’s Technical College (Edinburgh North) and then installed by the students at Compass College.

Compass is an alternative education option for students aged 17 to 24 who have not thrived in mainstream schools, offering new opportunities for learning, work and community participation. Compass adopts teaching and learning approaches different to mainstream school environments without the ‘packaging’ of school. It is a fee free new school located in the northern suburbs of Adelaide at Davoren Park. Compass College offers Stage 1 and Stage 2 SACE and some VET courses.

Please pass on our thanks to CaSPA, the Construction students and staff of St Patrick’s Technical College for building and putting together the bench seating in our Community Garden. It’s the perfect addition to the space for us!

I’ve attached a few images of the seating in action. We’re going to stain/paint it in 2024
