Casual Clothes Day: 25 February 2022

Congratulations and well done to the CRCCS community, “every little bit counts”. Our community raised a total of $1115.00 through gold coin donations for our first casual clothes day. Staff and students embraced this wonderful event knowing that their contribution will be making a difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Students are invited to bring a small donation to school. Each amount big or small makes a huge difference.

Week 2: (Week beginning Monday 14 March)

This week through Project Compassion we learn about Biru who lives in a rural village in India’s east. He lost mobility in one of his legs, after contracting polio as a child. Biru worked as a shepherd, looking after other people’s cattle to support his wife and four daughters. Keeping up with the cattle was a challenge.

Biru taught himself how to repair bicycles by watching other people, but he never dreamed of using those skills to start his own business. With your generous support, Biru was able to access an entrepreneurship and livelihoods training program, run by Caritas Australia’s partner, Caritas India. He gained the support and skills he needed to start his own bicycle repair business. Now, Biru earns enough money to support his family.

Watch a short film about Biru’s story here.
