PROJECT COMPASSION - Lenten Appeal.

Last week we commenced our support of the annual Project Compassion Appeal. Events in the world around us have caused us to focus on the needs of others. For many vulnerable communities across the world, 2024 proved to be even more challenging and devastating than previous years. Each year, Project Compassion comes as a timely reminder of the importance of solidarity and how a single act of kindness – whether big or small, can make a life-changing impact in the lives of those who need it most. The theme of Project Compassion for 2025 is ‘Unite Against Poverty’. Every dollar raised by our college community will help transform the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable people and will enable us to stand in solidarity with them as they foster change from the ground up.

The following link introduces us to the Project Compassion Appeal conducted by Caritas Australia, and the tremendous work that they do:

Over the next couple of weeks there will be a couple of lunch time BBQ’s to raise money for the appeal. There is also the possibility of an out of uniform day in the last week, with students bringing in a gold coin … stay tuned for further details!

Finally, on a very positive note, over $135 was raised with the selling of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday (day before Ash Wednesday) which kick-started our fundraising.
