Mufti Mania Days
Each year the New Zealand Catholic Primary Principals Association (NZCPPA) organises a Mufti Mania Day to raise money for poor and vulnerable communities. Since 2007 they have partnered with Caritas to support a project.
Live Simply Day
Fundraising is an important part of educating for justice. It shows tangible concern and compassion towards those who live with injustice or hardship.
Live Simply Day is the ideal time to take action across New Zealand for Lent.
We do this by abstaining from our normal morning tea and lunch. Instead we will provide a slice of bread for each student for lunch. We ask you to support this Lenten sacrifice by donating the equivalent cost of a takeaway meal. All funds raised will go to Caritas.
