Student Achievement
2023 Project Compassion
24 May
Throughout Term One, Damascus College students and staff endeavoured, in accordance with the values and ideas of Lent, towards fundraising money for Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion initiative. Many methods of fundraising were present, such as the annual Bake Sale run by the SRC, made possible by the students who had a go at baking and those who purchased some of the delicious food available, a free dress day on the final day of term, and weekly TA challenges.
One of the challenges was which TA could collect the highest weight of money. This challenge was won by McAuley 07, who managed to collect an impressive 910 grams. Congratulations to all TAs that took part in the challenges.
Through all of the combined efforts, Damascus College has succeeded in raising a grand total of $4083. This money will contribute significantly to helping people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world.
Thank you to all who contributed to our fundraising efforts. Your generosity doesn’t go unnoticed.
