Today is Ash Wednesday and it is the launch of our Project Compassion Campaign. We look forward to working as a school community to help raise awareness and money for Project Compassion to help our local and broader community.

What is Project Compassion?

Project Compassion which is run by Caritas Australia raises vital funds to help those facing poverty and injustice in the world. It is a campaign for people all over the world that can’t afford things that most people would be able to afford. By donating our spare change or money into the Project Compassion box at home or at school, we are helping people that are struggling to survive and supporting them to live a happier and longer life.

What is the 2022 theme? 

The theme for 2022 is ‘For all future generations.’ This helps remind us that we all have an impact on other generations to come.

Project Compassion Boxes:

At school each classroom will receive a Project Compassion box to raise money for the poor. In addition to this each family at the school will also get a Project Compassion box. 

How can we raise money? 

Do a match with your teacher day, scavenger hunt around your house for loose change you can also check your couches. Later this term there will be a mufti day and donations will be sent to Project Compassion.
