Caritas Fundraising

Throughout Term One, there will be several opportunities for students to contribute to our Project Compassion fundraising. Project Compassion is Caritas Australia’s main annual fundraising campaign. It mobilises Australians to raise much-needed funds to help alleviate poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity in the most vulnerable and marginalised communities in the world.
