Silly Sock Day – Friday 18 October
St Bede’s will celebrate Silly Sock Day on Friday 18 October (Week 1, Term 4) as part of Socktober for World Mission Month. Socktober is Catholic Mission’s annual flagship school engagement program to bring communities together and make a real impact on global issues. This year, Catholic Mission is raising awareness and funds for the Caring Center in Mongolia which provides care and support for homeless children.
Students are invited to wear silly socks (e.g. unmatched, novelty, colourful) to school on Friday 18 October and participate in activities on the day to foster a sense of empathy and social responsibility.
Families are asked to contribute what they can to St Bede’s Primary School’s Silly Sock Day collective fundraiser through the Qkr! App. Donations will be gratefully accepted until 18th October 2024.
Catholic Mission is the Pope’s international Mission agency in Australia. To find out more about Socktober 2024: Mongolia, visit the Socktober website.
