MARIST SCHOOLS ARE ON THE MONEY

We are thankful for all the donations and contributions received from MSA school communities across Australia. Every donation helps AMS to create opportunities for young people to access education in the Asia Pacific region.

AMS recognises that many people contribute to school fundraising: parents, grandparents, staff members and friends who all give generously to the various fundraising activities schools conduct. Through these efforts, five schools contributed more than $20,000 in 2023, while many more conducted successful fundraising campaigns.

We recognise the sponsors of the Cardijn College students who participated in the City to Bay fun run to raise funds for AMS. We acknowledge the green-thumb efforts of the staff, students, families and former students who contributed plants to John Therry’s 3rd Annual Plant Sale - proceeds going to AMS’ work. And we acknowledge the parents and caregivers of students at St Augustine’s College in Cairns, who spared loose change for boys to participate in Lenten Fundraising activities. All three schools received awards for Marist Spirit.

Schools are dynamic communities, and many schools conduct phenomenal fundraising and advocacy efforts, all in support of AMS’ work throughout the Asia Pacific region.
