To our St Andrew's Community,
As part of our catholic mission for social awareness and justice,
we’re taking part in supporting 'The Big Water Walk' organised by Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. The goal is to raise awareness of the challenges faced by so many to access basic needs and rights.
Therefore, during Lent we are Uniting Against Poverty by taking part in Caritas Australia's Project Compassion, by raising funds to empower people living in poverty around the world.
On Thursday the 3rd of April we are having our BIG Caritas day. On that day we are participating in 'The Big Walk' for Water. We encourage you to sponsor your child and to collect sponsors for them through our St Andrew’s online donation page, which can be found in the newsletter or on our Facebook page. (If you have already donated you don’t need to donate again).
On Caritas day (3/4) the walk will start at 9:30am and will finish by 10:50 am in the classrooms. The walk will be held within the school grounds, and all parents and carers are welcome to participate.
On the day students can bring coins for:
1) the lolly guessing competition, which will be $1 a guess, and
2) Caritas bracelets will also be available to purchase for $2.
Thank you for standing with us, as we Unite Against Poverty through Project Compassion this Lent.💜💜💜
