A core principle to Judaism is Torah, Avodah and Gemilut Hasadim. These principles are intertwined in the core beliefs of the college. Therefore, a compulsory extra curricular activity for students in Years 7–10 is the commitment to community service. All students are expected to give a minimum of 20 hours per year to a range of organisations or individuals. Some take part in cross-age tutoring (working with younger children to assist teachers in class), others are involved in fundraisers. Some visit the elderly on a regular basis while others help to form a minyan at one of the homes for the care of the elderly. The activities are varied and students have an opportunity to give their own time to causes that are linked to the Jewish community in Australia and Israel, as well as the broader Australian community. As the concept of giving becomes part of their lives most students continue their community service in Years 11 and 12 and beyond, on a voluntary basis.
