Over the last few weeks, Year 10 Ministry students led a campaign to raise awareness and funds for Catholic Mission’s annual Socktober initiative. This year’s focus was on the country of Ethiopia and, in particular, how to support Catholic education and food security.
Students raised awareness through regular posts on SIMON and visits to homerooms and raised money through a number of activities. These activities included a senior students verses staff volleyball match, a raffle, and staff and students wearing crazy socks on Thursday 10 November for a gold coin donation. Congratulations to Angelina Mosca (Year 7 Aqua) (pictured below) for being judged the winner of the Most Crazy Socks prize after the lunchtime parade in McAuley Hall. Megan Rieschieck (Year 10 Jade) won the raffle. Together the College raised $495 for charity. Well done!
Note: Ministry is a Religious Education option that students in Years 10-12 can choose for their studies in the Barak Campus. This course combines aspects of Religion and Society and the CSYMA curriculum with practical activities, to inform their faith and the opportunity to be involved in liturgical and fundraising ministries of the College.
