Lenten Season and Project Compassion – For a Just Future

This week’s Shrove Tuesday pancake fundraising day and Ash Wednesday liturgies mark the start of Lent; the season in which we prepare for Easter...

On Shrove Tuesday we launched the Project Compassion appeal for 2018. A box was given to each class for donations and a small box is available for families who would like to collect at home and support Caritas Australia during Lent. This year the theme is ‘A Just Future’ and celebrates the Year of Youth.

Tenison Woods College has won the Howard Mutton Perpetual Trophy for Country Schools in 2017. This is the fifth time Tenison Woods College has taken out this prestigious award – the third year in a row!

Each week we will be sharing with the community, a recipe from the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.

This week, various Year 7 students prepared and cooked Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday.
