Catholic Mission operates in over 160 countries to support initiatives in 1100 dioceses, including remote parts of Australia. They engage in mission and proclaim our faith through words and actions. Catholic Mission empowers people to reach out to help children and communities in need.
Socktober is an initiative of Catholic Mission that we support every October. The ‘sock it to something’ concept is an Australian expression that means to strike out at social issues, such as poverty, child labour, child trafficking, homelessness and lack of education.
The Socktober appeal this year was run by the Year 10 CSYMA students. These students helped plan and facilitate various fundraising activities such as decorating sock-shaped gingerbread cookies and making sock puppets, alongside our annual Crazy Sock Day on Tuesday 29 October. There was even a Crazy Sock Parade, won by Year 7 student Mia Story (pictured above). These students also ran lunchtime activities in our CSYMA Lounge. All money raised was sent to Catholic Mission to help support projects in India and Ghana.
Thanks to everybody who supported this great cause.
