SU Secondary School Clubs in the ACT
From the days of Inter School Christian Fellowships (ISCFs) to Scripture Union in Schools groups (SUIS), SU in the ACT has a rich history of teachers, churches and volunteers working together to see young students supported to explore and mature in their faith.
SU Explore, Regenerate, and Scripture Union in Schools clubs operate in schools with the principal’s permission. These clubs may run before, during, or after school. We are always open to hearing ideas for high school groups to better serve the school community!
SU Explore
SU Explore clubs are school-based clubs run by volunteers for kids from any background! Each club has the central goal of meeting young people where they’re at and helping them discover new, vigorous life in God’s big story, but it does so in a unique way.
Regenerate
Regenerate is a lunchtime group for Christian students in public schools who want to explore faith together by connecting with God, each other, and their local community. The group might be led by volunteers, staff, or students themselves!
Scripture Union in Schools (SUIS)
SUIS groups target specific needs within the school community through relationship- and support-based programs such as breakfast clubs, homework clubs, music clubs, and mentoring.
Inter-School Christian Fellowship (ISCF)
ISCF events and Leadership training camps are run to support young Christian people in public schools in the ACT, helping them to strengthen their faith, encourage each other, and develop team and leadership skills. To find out more about ISCF events in the ACT and surrounds, contact the school ministry coordinator at schools.act@su.org.au.
Can I come?
SU High school and secondary school groups are open to students from the school/college they run in. If your school doesn’t have an SU Group, let us know! We can work with you and local volunteers to make it happen. If you’re a Christian student or you’ve finished school already, why not become a leader in a school group?
Who are the leaders?
The leaders are members of local churches who believe that everyone should have the opportunity to investigate Christianity for themselves. They are willing to meet young people where they are, build relationships, and help them explore life and faith with a Christian perspective.
Scripture Union Australia oversees the running of the clubs. All volunteers must complete a thorough screening process, including a Working with Vulnerable People check and ChildSafe training, before they start helping at an SU Secondary club
