About

While we love seeing our teachers step out of their comfort zones, we are doing this for an incredibly important cause. All funds raised will go to the McAuley Services for Women, but, specifically this year we are raising funds to support their Education Program. 

McAuley Learning Support

The McAuley Learning Support program supports children who have been displaced because of family violence and aims to strengthen their connection to learning and their identity as successful students.

Learning gaps due to family violence

Following incidents of family violence, women and children are often forced into hiding or must move multiple times over the course of a year in order to stay safe. For school-age children, this means regularly changing schools, a disruption that can lead them to become disengaged and fall behind their classmates.

Research shows that high levels of absenteeism results in reduced engagement, underdeveloped social skills and a greater likelihood of leaving school prior to completion.

Our Impact: For every $500 we raise, we can provide a child with a laptop, alongside access to essential tutoring and counselling programs.
