Mini Missions Fete

Global School Partnerships facilitates partnerships between schools in Australia and schools in developing nations to enable students from across the globe to connect, share and learn with one another. We partnered with Surgeon Primary for many years and are pleased to hear that they are now at a stage where they can continue on their own. As such, St Jude's has partnered with a new school, Mwamba Primary school in Kenya. We look forward to seeing how we can help.

Why do we do it? Catholic Social Teaching calls us to work for the Common Good through the Works of Mercy. In being part of the Global Schools partnership, we become active participants in the call, recognising and respecting the Dignity of the Human Person. Its easy to have the ideas to help others, but acting on them can be more difficult. Through Global Schools, we form a 1 to 1 partnership to empower and resource another school in educating children. And education overcomes poverty.

Next Thursday Year 6 will hold our annual Mini Missions Fete which raises money for our partner school in Kenya. All money raised will go towards building classrooms, clean water and toilets to help meet Global Sustainability Goals.

This year we will go cashless and use a 'helping hand' to purchase items from the stalls. You can purchase a helping hand on QKR! for $5. There are also an < $5 options. The fingers can then be ripped off and used at each stall. There will be no change given.

We are looking forward to the wonderful stalls that Year 6 have planned!
