🧦⚽💛 SOCKTOBER: Walking in the Shoes of Others 💛⚽🧦
Our Socktober celebrations began with a meaningful liturgy led by our Year 6 MacKillop Awardees, who reflected on the Gospel of the Good Samaritan and its powerful message of compassion, kindness and care for others.
Connecting Jesus’ call to love our neighbour with the mission of Catholic Mission, students engaged in prayer and dialogue, deepening their understanding of the challenges faced by children and communities in Malawi and the importance of standing in solidarity with those in need.
Students put their creativity into action by making their own sockballs using odd socks and recycled materials! ⚽ Through this hands-on experience, they gained a greater appreciation of how children around the world find joy in playing with handmade soccer balls, while learning the importance of empathy, gratitude and global responsibility.
Despite the rainy weather, we made it work and embraced the spirit of Socktober! 🌧️💛 We are reminded that even small actions can make a big difference when we put our faith into action.
A heartfelt thank you to our staff and families for their wonderful support, and a special shout-out to our Faith in Action Coordinator, Miss McEntee, for organising this meaningful day!
Together, we can kick goals for good! 🌍❤️
