During lent the student’s of St Mary’s Primary, Concord participated in Caritas' Project Compassion challenge. The challenge was to raise enough money to help support the people in the Philippines. Infant grades were involved in raising money to help one family buy a cow for $600. Primary Grades were involved in raising sufficient money to buy a water pump for a community in the Philippines. Year 6 school leaders along with Year 5 and 4 students came up with their own initiatives and activities to raise money. Some of these activities involved children organising handball competitions, wall ball, lolly guessing competitions, skipping competitions and obstacle courses.
