Newsletter – Week 5

Project Compassion

We are starting our fundraising for Project Compassion for this year.  This year, Caritas asks us to ‘BE MORE’ to help people in need.

During Lent, we are doing a few different things this year to raise funds to support Caritas.

Chickens for Eggs

We know that just $5 can buy a chicken to provide eggs for a school in the Solomon Islands. Children are invited to decorate one (or more) chickens at $5 each. Your $5 donation will give you one chicken, decorated by your child with brightly coloured feathers, with your child’s name clearly marked on the chicken. These will be displayed in the office windows. This is completely optional. Families may opt to buy one chicken for the family. Children will be invited to decorate their chicken(s) during lunch time. Any questions, please contact the office.

Tanks for Living

Caritas tells us that for $600, they can construct a water point to provide clean, reliable water for a community in Tanzania.

We are having a blue mufti day on Friday 5 March 2021 to raise money that could go towards this cause.  We ask that every child bring in a gold coin donation towards this worthwhile project and wear blue clothing that day. Please be aware that children need to wear enclosed shoes and a hat. 

Project Compassion boxes

These have been placed on all prayer spaces in all classrooms.  We will keep a tally of each classes’ total each week.
