SOCKTOBER
SOCKTOBER FUNDRAISER
On Tuesday, the 24th of October, we are having a crazy sock day to raise money for Socktober Missions: This year's focus is on Timor-Leste In exchange for a gold coin donation, students can wear socks in any way they choose, mismatched, as hair ties, as gloves, wear them around their neck, or make a colourful belt. Have fun and be as creative as possible. It's for a good cause.
Please note that students still need to be in school uniform.
Get to know Timor-Leste.
One of Australia's closest neighbours, Timor-Leste is a small island republic just under 700kms from Darwin, which shares its western border with Indonesia. The country secured its independence from Indonesia in 2001, after an oppressive and violent occupation. Today, the scars still linger as the people grapple with the effects of poverty, low-quality healthcare and infrastructure, corruption and inequality.
