Caritas Fundraising

During the Church season of Lent, our school Mission leaders did a fabulous job in leading fundraising activities such as a colouring competition, selling icy-poles and the ‘Lolly Jar ‘ competition. We are pleased to say that our school raised approximately $ 700 that will go to the Catholic agency Caritas Australia. The money is used for  initiatives to empower the needy people in our world hence enacting Catholic Social Teaching Principles : 

• Preferential Option For the Poor- The needs of poor and vulnerable people should be put first.
• Solidarity- God created us as one global family called to support our brothers and sisters.

We thank our Mission Leaders for putting their leadership into action for the benefit of our global family.
