Project Compassion

Last Week we made an excellent start by raising $131 for Project Compassion. The class who raises the most money over the 6 weeks will be rewarded with a pyjama day in Term 2. The leaderboard for week 1 is:

1st 5 Orange $21.05

2nd 3 Black $19.15

3rd 4 Green $19.15

At school the Well-being Team we have been sharing stories of people who have received support through Project Compassion.

One story is from Anatercia from Mozambique who is a 12-year-old girl. Anatercia can now access clean drinking water, eat nutritious food and focus on her schooling. You can view her story at this link https://www.caritas.org.au/project-compassion/anatercia-story/

A Lent for Our Common Home.

Another way of participating in Lent is through taking sustainable action. Each week during Lent we will be sharing some ideas on how you might take sustainable action at home with your family.

Week 2- Waste

This week we think about how our busy lives produce so much plastic waste which causes pollution. You could:

• Pack zero waste lunch boxes
• Remember the reusable shopping bags
• Donate a toy you have outgrown

We pray for the protection of our planet and give thanks to the environmentalists and recyclers for their commitment and effort to preserve the Earth for future generations

Week 3- Taking action

This week inspires us with ways we can make a difference in our homes, communities and the world around us. You could:

• Make an extra effort to serve others
• Do a rubbish clean up
• Write a letter to Mr Tarrant suggesting a change you would like to see at St Joseph’s
