MARCH MADness - Mission Action Day 2022

Excitement is building for Mission Action Day 2022! All students have received a letter outlining the purpose and program for the day, namely that MAD will be held on Friday 8th April, the last day of Term 1 to raise awareness and funds to support the work of MAMI (Missionary Association of Mary Immaculate, the organisation through which the Oblates enlist the help of lay people) and the Oblate Fathers. The Oblates continue to serve the needy and marginalised communities facing increasing hardship and our annual fundraiser endeavours to support this work and build on the Catholic Social Teaching principles of upholding Human Dignity and working for Solidarity as well as our Character Strength virtue of Justice. 

 

The College community has shown their support for the MARCH MAD-ness activities that have been taking place over the last few weeks. Organised by our College Captain Nathanial Louey, Vice Captains Jacob Luu, Noah Beck, Daniel Grano and Head Prefects Jason Fernandes, Ashen Perera and ably supported by the YR 12 Prefects, YR 12 students and the staff we have had a range of activities to build excitement leading up to MAD.

  • The Great Debate, Staff Vs Students, on the topic ‘Should mobile phones be allowed during recess and lunch?’
  • DJ Yianjeo Concert - organised by our resident DJ, YR 12 student, James Yiannios
  • Funky Friday with Free Dress Day, Sausage Sizzle and Staff vs Student Dodgeball match 
  • ‘Guess the number of lollies’ competition
  • Easter Egg Raffle 

Thanks to all of those involved for facilitating these events that bring us all together to respond to St Eugene de Mazenod’s challenge to ‘have but one heart, one soul’.

 

Close to $4000 has already been raised to support the work of MAMI and the Oblate Fathers.  A tremendous effort that shows the generosity of our community.
