Community Fundraising

As part of this event, we ask that our Canterbury families get into the festive spirit of giving…

We will be directly supporting two charities that we have worked closely with throughout the years.

Orange Sky Australia provides a positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or feel disconnected from their community.

They provide regular laundry and shower services for homeless people.

Our College community has strongly supported this organisation throughout 2023, and the funds raised at this event – via the gold coin entry donations, and food and drink sales, will further support this worthy cause.

Rosies: Friends On The Street is an organisation which aims to offer friendship and unconditional acceptance to those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or are experiencing social isolation.

So each College House will be tasked with bringing different items to donate to the Rosies Appeal.

These will be placed under the relevant Christmas Tree inside the Canterbury Events Centre.

The items required from each House are:

Becket

Headlights, torches, caps, hats etc.

Non-Perishable Christmas Treats: Christmas cakes, sweets, puddings, biscuits, snacks etc.
