Project Compassion Caritas Australia
On Tuesday, our Faith Leaders took part in Project Compassion's Caritas Australia Bendigo Launch. The launch of this year's project compassion theme is to 'Unite Against Poverty'. Each student has been provided with a Project Compassion box to take home and encourage their families to raise funds in support of the initiative.
You'll hear more from the student Faith Leaders as they create fund-raising invitations to help support Caritas Australia.
Grade 4 - 6 Inquiry
This term in Inquiry, the Grade 4 - 6 students have been learning to differentiate between immigrants and migrants. They have engaged in in-depth discussions exploring the various reasons people may need to leave their home country. As part of their learning, students researched a migrant from the Immigration Museum's website to understand their reasons for moving to Australia and the challenges they faced in adapting to a new country.
