Year 10 ‘Cookies for Caritas’ Fundraiser: A Sweet Success!

The Year 10 ‘Cookies for Caritas’ fundraiser has wrapped up for another year, and it was a resounding success! Thanks to the generous efforts of the students and staff, this year’s event raised significant funds for Caritas Australia, an organization that works tirelessly to support communities in need across the globe.

The fundraiser involved Year 10 students baking and selling a variety of delicious cookies, with all proceeds going directly to support Caritas’ life-changing initiatives. The sweet treats were a hit, with students and teachers coming together to contribute to this meaningful cause. The success of the event highlights the Year 10 cohort’s commitment to social justice and their ability to come together to make a real difference in the world.

In addition to the fundraiser, Year 10 students also had the privilege of hearing from a special guest speaker, Michael McGirr, who shared his insights into the importance of charity, community service, and social justice. Michael, the Mission Facilitator for Caritas, captivated the students with his powerful message about how small actions, like their participation in the ‘Cookies for Caritas’ event, can lead to significant change. Drawing from his experiences working with Caritas and other organizations, Michael emphasized the global impact of collective efforts, no matter how big or small.

His speech encouraged the students to continue their commitment to helping others and inspired many to think deeply about their roles as global citizens. Michael’s talk was not only motivational but also provided a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by communities that Caritas supports worldwide. The Year 10 students left the event with a renewed sense of purpose and an eagerness to continue their work in supporting those in need.

The success of the ‘Cookies for Caritas’ fundraiser is a testament to the generosity and spirit of Year 10 students. Their efforts will go a long way in helping Caritas continue its mission to alleviate poverty and support communities around the world. A big thank you to everyone who participated, baked, or bought cookies—your support makes all the difference!

As the Year 10 students continue their journey through Sacred Heart, this event serves as a reminder of the power of community and the importance of giving back. We look forward to seeing how they continue to make an impact in the years to come!
