Project Compassion Cup and Caritas K’s

Last Friday, our entire school community participated in our annual Project Compassion Cup and Caritas Ks fundraiser.

The Project Compassion Cup brings together staff and students as they battle it out on the soccer pitch to raise awareness of the great work that Caritas do.

This year after an extensive shootout the students were victorious.

The soccer match was followed by our annual Caritas K’s fundraiser. Its main focus is to raise money for Caritas and to also create awareness of the great work that Caritas do across the world. It is a great way for students to be involved in actively raising money and developing a greater understanding that there are many people in this world who struggle to fulfil basic needs such as food, water and shelter.

This year students completed laps of our school oval while carrying buckets of water which gave them a moment of solidarity with those 292 million people across the world who spend more than 30 minutes every day walking to collect safe, clean water. By taking part in this action students supported communities in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Local businesses sponsored our House groups by donating $5 for every lap completed.

We thank Terry White Chemmart Shepparton, Jacobson Bus Lines and Noones for their generous support of our fundraiser.

Keeping the chaos holy,
