CATHOLIC MISSION FUNDRAISER 
ROCKTOBER SOCKTOBER DANCE PARTY
This term on Friday, 30 October our students are invited to a Rocktober Socktober Dance Party fundraiser, and to come to school wearing colourful socks in a creative way - eg. socks in their hair, on their arms or in whatever way they can think of, and to bring a gold coin donation.
October is World Mission Month. Our focus country this year is Cambodia, where the Catholic Mission seeks to provide shelter, food, education, and life-fulfilling opportunities for children in need, especially those with disabilities.
Students across Australia are encouraged to learn about Cambodia, and through fundraising, prayer and advocacy, be a part of the life‑changing work of the Church as they support children with disability. Distressingly, in Cambodia, people with disability are not always accepted and given equal opportunity. Children with disability are sometimes not able to go to school and gain an e
ducation, and their families may struggle to care for them. The Arrupe Centre, established by Bishop Enrique ‘Kike’ Figaredo Alvargonzalez in 2001, is a home for children with a disability.
The Arrupe Centre strives to show the love of God through caring for and empowering those in need. They provide children with support and opportunities to live a fulfilling life. As Bishop Kike says, “We are here for the common good; to be a more inclusive society and to bring also the joy of life everywhere ... we look with a positive vision and, I would say, with hope and joy and happiness”.
