Seek Justice

Live Simply

On Friday 24 March, Secondary students came together in a wonderful display of giving during this Lenten period. Over 380 students participated on the day, which consisted of raising money by being sponsored and then by receiving a barley sugar for recess and some buttered bread for lunch.

The intention of Live Simply Day is to promote awareness about how fortunate we are and how little many others have to live with on a daily basis. Apart from the change of food, all students were encouraged to act in accordance with the concept of living life simply, such as walking to school or taking a shorter shower.

The day was a brilliant event, with live music at lunchtime from Mr Thompson and an overall stunning amount of over $5000 raised. Most of all, the day was a success in that it provided us with an opportunity to give to those less fortunate than us, especially during Lent. The money that was raised will support Caritas Australia to end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.
