Did you know that $120 can buy a hybrid goat so that a young person can learn goat raising to make an income in Nepal? Or that $350 can help provide one year of remedial tutoring for a young refugee who has missed school due to the conflict in Syria? Or even that $9 per month for a year could provide 12 water filters to reduce sickness and disease in Cambodia?

This Friday 23 March, there will be a whole school casual clothes day to support Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion appeal. Students are asked to make a gold coin donation to work towards “A Just Future”.

Guidelines for Casual Clothes Day

• Students are to wear neat casual clothes that are appropriate for general learning
• Shoes must comply with safety standards: they must be closed in and protect feet. No thongs, sandals, ugg boots or heels are to be worn
• General clothing must be of a respectable standard: no brief or skimpy shorts, tops or skirts
• If students are not appropriately dressed they will be asked to go home and change
