Compassion

Dear St Bernard's College Community,

I am writing to you today to share our excitement for the upcoming Project Compassion fundraising initiative. Caritas’ Project Compassion is an annual advocacy campaign our College supports that brings together Australian schools, parishes, and supporters to raise awareness and much need funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world. All funds raised through Project Compassion go towards providing essential services and support to people in need, including access to clean water, healthcare, education, and emergency relief.

Our 2024 Student Council has again set a goal of raising $10,000 for all the communities struggling to provide essential needs and services. To achieve this goal, each homeroom will has a Project Compassion Fundraising Kit, with homeroom teachers directing this fundraising initiative. We are urging all members of our community to contribute a minimum of $6.70 to help us reach our target. At this stage, we have raised $1582.82. With your generous support, we believe that we can make a significant difference to the lives of those in need.

As part of our fundraising initiative, on Monday 25th March, students have a unique opportunity to show their support for Project Compassion by participating in the "Colour’s for Compassion" Day. This day encourages students to wear casual clothes and incorporate a community group they belong to, such as sports, music interests, or advocacy groups etc. into their outfit. Students will be asked to contribute money (gold coin or small note) towards Project Compassion, which will be collected by their Homeroom Teachers.

Let's come together as an Inclusive Community to make a difference in the lives of people who need it most, both today and for all future generations. Thank you for your ongoing support.
