Project Compassion Campaign Update

Students and staff  have demonstrated wonderful generosity and community spirit throughout this year’s Project Compassion campaign. 

Over the past four weeks, a variety of creative and engaging fundraisers have taken place, with students enthusiastically supporting Caritas Australia's mission and learning how their contributions can help communities in need.

From bake sales to a BBQ, ice cream cones, Zooper Doopers, donuts, a movie session and other class-based initiatives, it has been inspiring to see so many students and staff working together in support of this important cause. 

These efforts reflect the values of compassion, justice and service that are central to our Catholic identity.

As the end of Term 1 approaches and our fundraising draws to a close, we are finishing the campaign with one of our much-loved traditions, Ks for Caritas. This event brings the whole campus together in a fun, active way to raise awareness and show support for those in need.

At Melton Campus yesterday, students and staff gathered in House groups to carry buckets of water or bags of rice across the soccer pitch during Big Break.

There was plenty of support and enthusiasm for participants and some friendly competition among houses to see who could walk the most laps during Big Break.

The aim was to raise awareness of the many kilometres people in other countries walk daily to access fresh water, food, and education - all things we take for granted.

Cobblebank students will take to the oval on Friday for their event, and there will no doubt be the same spirit of cooperation mixed with some house rivalry!

Thank you to all students, staff and families who have contributed so generously to Project Compassion this year. Your efforts truly embody the spirit of giving and remind us that small actions can create a meaningful change.
