From Dough to Donation: Tenison and Sion’s Sweet Fundraising Success

In a remarkable display of generosity, teamwork, and school spirit, students and staff from Tenison and Sion House came together during March to bake and sell nearly 1,500 chocolate chip cookies, raising an impressive $1,500 for Caritas through our Project Compassion fundraiser. The cookie sale was met with overwhelming support, with students and staff eagerly purchasing the cookies for $1 each, knowing their contributions were going toward a meaningful cause.

The initiative was a true community effort, with students generously donating ingredients and both staff and students dedicating hours of their time over four days to prepare, bake, and sell the cookies. From mixing the dough to selling these delicious treats, the event was a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm of our school community.

At MacKillop Catholic College, our mission is to be a Christ-centred learning community that fosters excellence, compassion, and service. The efforts of our Tenison and Sion students and staff in this fundraiser truly embodied these values, demonstrating a commitment to making a difference through acts of kindness and generosity.

We are incredibly proud of the effort put in by our Tenison and Sion students and staff, whether by donating ingredients, baking, or purchasing cookies. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed, your generosity has helped make a real impact for a fantastic cause.
