Socktober and Crazy Sock Day

This month our school is participating in Socktober, an inspiring initiative of the Catholic Mission. Socktober is a meaningful way for our students to engage with social justice and the very important work of global mission through the world game of soccer. 

Socktober 2023 presents a wonderful opportunity for our students to make a positive impact simply by kicking their goals. This initiative will teach them valuable lessons about compassion and global awareness and allow them to actively contribute to the lives of others in a fun and interactive way.

On Friday, 20th October, we will have a fundraiser to raise money for Catholic Mission. Students are invited to wear “crazy socks” or socks in a crazy way and bring a gold coin ($1.00 or $2.00) for the Mission effort. Children are to wear their school uniforms but can wear socks of different colours, and patterns, in different and creative ways on the day. 

All money raised will be donated to support Catholic Missions' work in Timor-Leste. Specifically, the proceeds will benefit vulnerable young people attending a medical clinic and a children's home in Venilale. Our contributions can help children who truly need it to access better health, nutritional and educational outcomes. 

Reconciliation 

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be made by 8 students on the 19th of October.

 The Sacrament of Reconciliation is known as the Sacrament of Healing in which we celebrate Jesus' gift of forgiveness. We keep these students in our prayers as they make their second Sacrament.
