AUGUSTINIAN FORMATION APPEAL
The Augustinians in Australasia are running two formation centres, i.e., in Brookvale, NSW and in Saigon, Vietnam and there are also novices of the Province at the regional novitiate in Cebu, Philippines. They are the centres of formation for young men living out their vocation to religious life as the next generation of Augustinians. Today, 8 young men in three formation houses are listening to and discerning God’s call to the religious life. This is only possible with your prayers, encouragement and financial support. We will determine where the funds are directed within our services. Donations for the formation of candidates in Australia are tax-deductible. However, donations for the formation of candidates in Vietnam are NOT tax-deductible. Upon request, the Augustinians can provide tax deductible official receipts for donations over $2. To cancel regular donations, seek a refund or a tax-deductible receipt please email accounts@osa.org.au
Sutherland Rotary Donation
The Rotary Club of Sutherland supports charitable projects and some charities in the local and international environment. Our youth programs, eg Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA); Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN); Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA); National Youth Science Forum (NYSF); Honeywell Engineering Summer School (HESS) and Santos Science Experience (SSE) are joined by our support of the Fathering Project in local Primary Schools and the Breakfast Club at Jannali Primary run via Better Connected. International programs include our support of Rotary's PolioPlus (to eliminate Polio and other illnesses from Children worldwide) and Rotary Solar Lights for third world countries to replace kerosene lights, open fires or diesel generators just for home lighting. Sadly we are not a Tax Deductable Recipient, so can't offer a tax deduction, so we really value your decision to donate.

Suit Up for Cervical Cancer Fundraising Page
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women. Statistically only 55.4% of eligible women are currently being tested as frequently as recommended, yet it is also one of the most preventable forms of cancers. This is why it is so important to educate the gravity of being regularly tested, for you and the women you love. Since sharing my story in 2019 I have been contacted by numerous women effected by cervical cancer, it really can effect every woman, everywhere. This fundraising page has been set up for people whom wish to donate to the cause but are unfortunately unable to attend the event in November this year.
Marathon for a Cause - Community Support
Our Year 12 students are taking on an extraordinary challenge for a noble cause. On Thursday, September 19, they will begin a marathon around our College, continuing through the night and finishing early the next morning. This marathon, aptly named "Marathon for a Cause," will not only test their endurance but also aim to make a significant impact by raising funds for Fight MND and the Black Dog Institute. We invite you to contribute to this heartfelt initiative. Your generous donations will support two vital organisations dedicated to fighting motor neurone disease and mental health challenges.

Regional Contemporary Dance Exchange - Holly Doyle
The Illawarra's first, Regional Contemporary Dance Exchange is a program for local South Coast dancers, 15 years and over, to work with leading contemporary artists and choreographers right here in the Illawarra over a period of 44 consecutive weekends. ⠀⠀ Our vision for the RCDE is to create both an affordable and inclusive initiative where aspiring young dancers have the opportunity to train with and be inspired by leading and current Australian choreographers as they are exposed to the wide range of contemporary dance styles. Guest choreographers will be rotated to avoid duplication of styles and maximise diversity for participants. ⠀⠀ Class numbers will be capped to ensure optimal results for all participants. ⠀⠀
