The theme of Project Compassion 2024 is ‘For All Future Generations’ and reminds us that the good we do today extends to impact the lives of generations to come. It invites us to make the world a better place by working together now and finding long-term solutions to global issues.
We encourage you to put your compassion into action this Lent through prayer, fasting and almsgiving in support of Project Compassion. Each family will have now received a Project Compassion box for you to make donations as a family or you can donate online via the Caritas Australia website at:
www.caritas.org.au/project-compassion
As a school we have decided for the next four Fridays leading up to Holy Week, we will have some whole school initiatives to raise funds as a school for Project Compassion. We ask that your child bring a gold coin to participate in the festivities each week commencing on Friday March 1, the first day of Autumn.
Students will also take a hard copy home with them today for you to put on your notice board or fridge at home.
St Patrick's day is March 17 (which is a Sunday). We will celebrate this feast day the following week on Tuesday 19 and have a whole school competition to see which class can make the longest line on the basketball court made up of silver coins only!!!
Start collecting now as many silver coins as you can in preparation for this day.
WEEKLY MASSES
Throughout the year, all classes rotate and attend weekly mass with their class at 9:15am.
This year we will be attending weekly Masses on Friday mornings with Bishop Hart. You are most welcome to join in the celebration with your children.
Please note that some of our whole school Masses are on Wednesdays.
