PROJECT COMPASSION 2025

This Lent, we are called to Unite Against Poverty through Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. By taking home a Project Compassion donation box (which came home on Friday last week), you’ll be helping to answer the Gospels’ call to care for our global family and walk alongside the most vulnerable.

This term students will be learning about Project Compassion and Caritas and the many ways they help people all over the world. Each classroom and child has a project compassion box and we encourage you at home to try and find some loose change to pop in your box, maybe go without that all-important coffee from the shop for 1 day and pop the money in the box instead, or your children might like to think of ways they can give something up (like a treat) and put the money in their project compassion box instead, or earn a few dollars by doing a job for someone and putting the money in the box. We will collect the boxes at the end of the term. 

We have a Whole School Project Compassion fundraiser at the end of the term called "The great water walk" so keep your eyes out in the newsletter for more information in the coming weeks.

Your generous support this Lenten Season will enable Caritas Australia to provide life-changing support to communities facing poverty, food insecurity, lack of education, and water shortages, while building resilience against future challenges. Together, through faith and action, we can bring hope and opportunity to those most in need.
