Socktober 2019- Led by Year 5 students   

Students from Foundation to Year 6 will be invited to wear colourful socks to school on Tuesday 29th October. They will be asked to bring a gold coin donation and coins for minor raffles to raise money for the Catholic Missions.  This year the focus will be to help children and families in Ghana. See the website for more details. https://www.socktober.org.au/about

ENGAGE - Socktober invites schools to engage with mission in an holistic way within the heads, heart, hands model: encouraging a learning mind, an open heart and hands for action. Children experience how their brothers and sisters in Ghana play the game of soccer, learn about life in Ghana and are moved to action.

LEAD - Socktober provides children with the opportunity to lead in mission by sharing their story of support with their family and friends.

CREATE – As part of Socktober, children build a recycled ‘Sock Ball’ – a replica of the type of ball thousands of children throughout the world use each day. Year 5 students will organise activities for each Year level and run these with the classes on Tuesday, 29th October. More information to follow next week.
