We have an active community service program with a number of initiatives available for students who would like to be involved in service to others, including:

1. Buddy Program: Our Buddy Program helps to build relationships between the students of 麻豆果冻传媒 College and offers an opportunity for students in Years 7 - 12 to engage in service activities with our younger kindergarten and primary students. This provides an opportunity for our older students to be actively involved and strive to make the world of their buddy a better place, providing a positive and excellent role model for them, and engaging in reflective learning associated with their buddy classroom visits.
2. Environment Group: This is a motivated, energetic group of students who plan and coordinate the school's initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint. From managing the school's recycling program to establishing butterfly gardens and planting trees, this group of students is always excitedly planning for improvement.
