But millions of people around the world are displaced, persecuted and without a home. It's the greatest humanitarian crisis of our generation.
And it's the cause that struck at the hearts of St Augustine's College students and prompted them to run an activity on World Humanitarian Day.
"I just had no idea it was such a big problem, and how bad our treatment of asylum seekers is," student Tara Bray said.
The students made ID numbers for their peers to wear, which they referred to each other by for the rest of the day instead of by name.
It was in reference to children detained in Australian refugee detention centres signing their artwork with their ID numbers.
"We're asking you to reflect on how you'd feel being called by your ID number every day instead of your name," Ritima Bhardwaj (ID 5928) told her peers.
"How does it make you feel to know that our country treats innocent people like this?
"This might seem bleak and negative, but it is important to understand the facts about asylum seekers in Australia."
The day of advocacy fell at a time when the school's VCE students are studying the plight of refugees through books like Anh Do's The Happiest Refugee and I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai.
The program is a culmination of ideas that have been driven by students from year five through to year 12 who attended a social justice camp earlier this year.
"Putting students into the shoes of refugee and allowing them to see a small portion of the treatment they can receive not only supports learning but can pave the way for future involvement and advocacy," teacher Steph Challis said.
