Socktober- Thursday 26th October
On Thursday 26th October we celebrated Socktober, which is an initiative of Catholic Mission to support those in need. Students wore crazy/fun socks on Thursday and thanks to everyone who donated, we raised $168.
Catholic Mission operates in over 160 countries to support initiatives in 1100 dioceses, including remote parts of Australia. They engage in mission and proclaim our faith through words and actions. Catholic Mission empowers people to reach out to help children and communities in need.
Socktober is an initiative of Catholic Mission that we support every October. The ‘sock it to something’ concept is an Australian expression that means to strike out at social issues, such as poverty, child labour, child trafficking, homelessness and lack of education.
The Socktober appeal this year was run by some of our 5/6 students. These students helped plan and facilitate our 'shoot out' at lunchtime.
