Project Compassion Fundraisers

The Justice leaders have been selling lollipops and ice-blocks throughout Lent to raise funds for Project Compassion.

In Week 10 they held a Bake Sale selling brownies, hot-cross buns and cupcakes to raise nearly $400 in one day for Project Compassion. Students have also been taking part in voting for teachers to be slimed on the last day of Term 1. Thank you to the teachers who have volunteered to be slimed to support charity.

All proceeds will contribute to the daily donations students make in CLC during Lent to the Project Compassion appeal for Caritas.

Year 7 & CIEC excursion to Mary MacKillop Place 

During Term 1 Year 7 and CIEC students visited Mary MacKillop Place and Museum in North Sydney. The day was a great opportunity to learn about our College patron St Mary of the Cross MacKillop.

The students enjoyed the interactive museum and visiting Alma Cottage. The time spent in the chapel visiting the tomb of Mary MacKillop was a very moving experience for our students.

Fourth Sunday of Lent – 31^st March 2019

Michaela is a 21-year-old trainee at Purple House, a dialysis center in the Central Desert for people suffering from kidney disease. The Aboriginal-controlled service gives patients the opportunity to stay connected with their culture. They do this through traditional healing practices and income-generating activities, such as making bush balms and soaps. With the support of Caritas partners, Michaela is helping to build a social enterprise, a connection to culture and a new outlook for the chronically ill.

 

 

Fifth Sunday of Lent – 7^th April 2019

Salma was just 18 years old, pregnant and fearful for her life and that of her unborn child, when she featured in Project Compassion 2013. In Bangladesh, maternal and infant mortality rates are tragically high. During her first pregnancy, Salma was very sick and in distress, she sought the help of a midwife trained by Caritas’ Safe Motherhood Program. Six years on, she’s now a healthy mother of two strong, happy children. Salma is committed to giving her children the education they need to provide them with the future she hoped for.

 

 

Sixth Sunday of Lent – 14^th April 2019

Nguyet is a teenager living with a disability in a small town in Vietnam. Living with a disability was challenging, her early years were subdued and solitary. Since featuring in Project Compassion 2017 Nguyet has successfully built her own business, a dream that has become a reality with the support of Caritas Australia. Connected to the world in new ways, Nguyet has become independent, an important member of her community and has great hope for her future.
