Bake a Wish cake Stall

Our Social Justice team and leaders have a very important job to do this week!  Tomorrow afternoon they will be gathering to create posters that will go up around the school promoting our Bake a Wish cake stall.   Be on the look out for these posters around the school.

Project Compassion

Each family will have  received a project compassion box. Please give generously to an organisation that helps those less fortunate by teaching them and empowering themselves to provide for their families.  The project compassion box needs to be returned to church on the Easter weekend.  Each week, CARITAS shows us an example of how our generosity can help others. This week, we meet Bayan.

Bayan is a 12-year-old Syrian girl, living with her family in Jordan, a keen student, who has her sights set on a career as an ophthalmologist. She struggled to overcome the trauma of growing up in a conflict zone, facing the prospect of missing out on schooling. Now, Bayan is an academic high-achiever, flourishing in a stable school environment.

In week 4 of the campaign, we meet Evangeline who is strengthening Aboriginal culture, while making a living for herself and creating opportunities for her community. Featured in Project Compassion 2016, Evangeline was employed by the Caritas Australia supported Djilpin Arts Aboriginal Corporation and quickly rose to the role of Senior Artsworker.
