Champagnat Day

Friday 6 June

Champagnat Day is a special celebration held annually by schools and institutions associated with Marist Education. The day honours the life, mission, and values of Marcellin Champagnat, who dedicated his life to the education and care of young people, especially the most neglected.

Champagnat Day serves as a significant event in the college calendar. Is a reminder to students and staff to live out the values Champagnat exemplified: compassion, dedication to education, and a strong faith in God. It also strengthens the identity and unity of our college amongst Marist communities around the world.

Champagnat Day Currency

The Champagnat Day currency is a special school currency that allows students to

purchase items at the market stalls and support the Marist Asia Pacific Solidarity

program. By students purchasing this special currency, proceeds that are donated to Marist Asia Pacific Solidarity go towards:

• supporting communities across the Asia Pacific region, making a difference on a global scale.
• contributing to the Marist programs that uplift and empower local communities.
• focusing on educational initiatives, providing access to quality learning opportunities for those in need.

Parents will receive information through COMPASS this coming week for how to pre-purchase currency amounts for their child to utilise on the day. Families who would prefer their young person to make currency purchases with eftpos facilities or cash, can do so as an alternative option in the week of Champagnat Day. More details to come.

Stay safe, keep well, go gently.
