CARITAS AUSTRALIA - PROJECT COMPASSION

RAISING MONEY for CARITAS Australia Compassion into Action

Whole School Solidarity Walk to Caritas

Today the children took part in an awareness raising and solidarity action where they had the opportunity to ‘walk in the shoes’ of 80% of the world who walk rather they drive in a car and have to carry water, food and all other supplies for daily life. 

The students walked laps of an area with buckets of sand to experience the feeling of carrying water as some children do in less fortunate countries.   

Fact

'Many women and children in rural Africa walk 6 km to collect water and carry 

up to 20kg of water on their heads during each walking trip'.

This year the theme of Project Compassion is

 “For All Future Generations”

Catholic Identity Year 6 Leadership Team

The Catholic Identity Year 6 Leadership Team have been committed to raising awareness and funds for Caritas.  

They have used their Tuesday Leadership afternoons to deliver speeches and posters with students and teachers across the school about Caritas and our call of the Gospel to create a more fair world for future generations.
