Week 6 Mission Lenten Fundraisers

Last year, our College community raised over $9,000 during Shrove Tuesday and Lenten Fundraising Day, with all proceeds donated to Australian Marist Solidarity (AMS). This year, AMS is directing our support to St Joseph’s School Tenaru in the Solomon Islands, helping to provide essential resources and opportunities for students in need. All our stalls and games will be organised and run by our amazing Year 12 leaders.

Both our Shrove Tuesday and Lenten Fundraising Day will be cashless events meaning that students can pay for all the delicious foods and drinks using their ID cards.

2025 Shrove Tuesday

Next Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday – commonly referred to as Pancake Tuesday. As has been tradition at the college, the Mission leaders will be selling pancakes with maple syrup for $3.50 from the CLE undercroft and the primary building during First Break. All the money raised goes to Australian Marist Solidarity.
