St James Primary School is a small school with a big heart.  Service and social justice education is an integral part of school life. Students are given opportunities to support the community throughout the year.

Each term the student leaders choose a charity to support, initiating and implementing their own fundraising ideas to raise awareness. As well as the term charities, students support Project Compassion during Lent, Smith Family, St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal and raise money to support the Sisters of the Good Samaritan Charity in the Philippines.
