Caritas:  The BIG Water Walk 

Our act of solidarity this year for Project Compassion will be “The BIG Water Walk”. Grades F-4 will be walking with buckets of water around the school oval and Grade 5 and 6 will be walking to Thompson’s Beach to collect water to carry back to school. 

This act of solidarity is to ‘walk in the shoes’ of people, living in such places as Africa, Asia and the Pacific, who need to walk long distances to collect clean, safe water every day. Our support in collecting donations through Project Compassion will help raise funds as well as assist in creating lasting change to empower people to lift themselves out of poverty. 

The BIG Water Walk will be on Thursday, April 2nd (last day of Term 1). 

Grades 5 and 6 will leave for Thompson’s Beach at 1:30 and return by 2:30. 

Grades F-4 will begin their walk around the school oval at 2:15 until approximately 2:50. 

Students are required to bring their own plastic bucket from home, labelled with their name.  

Some water will be poured into the bucket for the students to carry as they walk.  

At the end of the walk, the remaining water left in the buckets will be poured in large House Colour tubs. The House Colour with the most water carried will be awarded house points. 

Caritas: Please continue  to donate to Project Compassion during this season of Lent. We request that all money boxes are returned to school by Thursday, April 2nd.
