St Norbert College
Project Compassion Fundraising
Our Caritas fundraising was a great community effort this year. We thank those students and staff who supported our various activities throughout the season of Lent and we know that Caritas Australia will put this money to great use.
Here are some ways our money will be used:
- $48 will provide 40kg of chicken feed for a Rural Training School in the Solomon Islands
- $148 can provide a toilet for a family in Mozambique, southern Africa.
- $250 can help a family to acquire a small kiosk to start a sewing business in the Democratic Republic of Congo
- $200 can provide training and livestock raising for families affected by Covid-19 in India.
Kimberley Immersion 2022
Early next term I will be launching the Kimberley Immersion to all students in Years 10 and 11. For more than 20 years, St Norbert College has attended an immersion experience in the Kimberley.
Our students will participate in the following service activities:

Students will also participate in a number of cultural experiences including:

Cost : The cost of the immersion per student is $1800. In order to apply, school fees must be up to date, or form part of a payment plan. Payment for the immersion is organised in installments. The first Installment is due on 3 June.
Application process:
After the launch early next term, students will need to complete an application form and hand it into Ms Kyd by 12 May, 2022.
