Religious Education

Our Year 7 Religious Education classes participated in Socktober again this year with the 2022 Catholic Mission Month focus being on Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, food insecurity and malnutrition remain key issues today. Famine has continually reemerged in the drier, agriculture-reliant parts of the country in past decades. Shockingly, malnutrition is a contributing factor in half of all child deaths in the country. 

The rural village of Emdibir will be one of the recipients of the Socktober fundraising where the local people are well trained in raising goats for meat and other uses. It is intended to also use goat's milk to feed their babies with the highly nutritious and affordable milk. Goats milk has all the right nutrients that a baby needs, it will help to prevent malnutrition and ensure babies will grow to be big, strong, and have the best chance in life. 

Year 7 students made soccer balls from recycled materials and then used their soccer balls in a fun afternoon of Socktober Shootout with our College House Captains as 'goalies'. 

During the final round Jesse Everingham was crowned the Socktober champion for 2022. 

Thank you to our Year 7 families for their fundraising efforts for Mission Month.
