Dear Parents and Guardians,

On Wednesday the 30th of October all students (K-6) will be participating in a Socktober fundraiser in line with other Catholic schools in Western Australia. Socktober encapsulates a wide range of fundraising initiatives delivered by Catholic Schools in the month of October. Such fundraising events raise awareness of the missionary work and raise money for Catholic missions and social justice ventures.

St Matthew’s students are asked to bring/donate coins to contribute to a collaborative coin artwork on our school basketball court. The donated coins will be combined and all children will contribute to the final product. The more coins we have, the more spectacular this will be! Please feel free to send in the coins with your child at any time. Along with creating this artwork, students will also participate in rotations that focus on Socktober initiatives.

If you have any queries regarding this day, please do not hesitate to contact me at lyndee.montgomery@cewa.edu.au . For more information on Socktober, please feel free to peruse the website here https://www.socktober.org.au/

Kind regards,

Lyndee Montgomery
