Excitement is mounting as the competitive side of the Project Compassion appeal draws to a close. Students and staff have together devised a number of new and old ways of raising funds for a good cause everything from the traditional bake sale to the staff student netball matches.  Caritas Australia each year builds a wonderful program on its website
to connect the generosity of the giver to those who will receive their help.
