Education in Faith
Ash Wednesday - (Wednesday 18 February 2026)
On Ash Wednesday we celebrated the beginning of Lent with Liturgies led by our Year 6 FIRE Carriers. In all of the celebrations our children were reverent, reflective and prayerful. They were all able to share their understanding of this special season in our liturgical calendar, one of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In observing these elements of the Lenten Season we are opening our hearts more fully to the message of the gospels.
As part of our commitment to mission in our world, we will participate in Project Compassion through Caritas.
During Lent, our school community is invited to be a part of something incredible. Once again, we are called to stand hand in hand with thousands of others across the country and Unite Against Poverty by supporting Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion.
Last year, our school was a part of a nationwide movement that raised over $10 million to bring opportunity and change to vulnerable communities across the world. This year, with your support, we hope to have an even greater impact.
By taking home a Project Compassion donation box this year, you’ll be answering the Gospels’ call to care for our global family and walk alongside the most vulnerable. Your generosity will enable Caritas Australia to provide life-changing support to communities facing poverty, food insecurity, lack of education and water shortages, while building resilience against future challenges.
Together, through faith and action, we can bring hope and opportunity to those most in need.
Please donate today.
You can support Project Compassion 2026 through the donation boxes or by scanning the QR code to donate online.
