Last week on Thursday 31 March, our school community came together to raise funds for Ukraine and NSW flood victims. To date, the United Nations has reported that Russia’s military attack on Ukraine has resulted in 1,081 innocent civilian deaths. Devastatingly, we know that at least 136 of these deaths were children. Russian forces have targeted civilian homes, theatres, transportation and even medical facilities. The other crisis facing Ukraine civilians is getting out of Ukraine itself, with 3.7 million people, so far, fleeing to neighbouring countries such as Poland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A crisis closer to home involves the recent floods across south-east Queensland, northern NSW and Sydney. While the main devastation has been the impact on people\u2019s homes, properties, and businesses, sadly, 22 deaths have also been reported. Many Lismore residents are still sheltering in emergency relief centres, or have been forced to stay in their own homes now deemed uninhabitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to presenting this information at the show, we played a video featuring a 7-year-old girl singing the Ukrainian National Anthem in Poland to commence the start of the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as the girl, Amelia, is using her ‘gifts’ to spread joy and hope, the girls of MSCW used their talents to raise funds to help those in desperate need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to all the families and staff for your efforts to support the people of Ukraine and NSW flood victims. As a school, we\u2019ve raised $1,366.30, a true testament to our Marist Values of compassion and generosity, and our constant goal to be Marist Women of Action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
