Support Our Ration Challenge for Palestinian Refugees in Australia

This Term, our Student Council is leading a heartfelt initiative to raise awareness and funds for Palestinian refugees seeking a new start here in Australia. From the 26th to the 30th of August, students and staff will participate in the Ration Challenge, living on the same food rations as a refugee for an entire week. This challenge is more than just an exercise in empathy; it’s an opportunity to take action and make a real difference in the lives of those who have endured unimaginable hardships.




What is the Ration Challenge?

Participants will be provided with a ration pack that closely mirrors the daily food intake of a refugee. The pack includes:

  • 1kg of rice
  • 1 can of lentils
  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 tin of tuna
  • 215ml of vegetable oil (self-supplied)
  • Additional: 400g of rice and 285g of flour (self-supplied)

For one week, we will live on these rations, experiencing just a glimpse of the daily struggles faced by refugees. The goal is to not only raise awareness but also to fundraise and provide tangible support for those in need.




Why We Are Doing This

Our focus this year is on our Palestinian neighbors who have fled their homes in search of safety and a better future. These families have arrived in Australia, leaving behind the tragedies of their past, and they now need our help to rebuild their lives. Every dollar raised through this challenge will go directly towards providing essential services, such as food, medical care, education, and rent assistance.

Ou school has a close partnership with Australian Relief Organsiation, we will make sure all donations are given directly to Palestinian refugees right here in Australia.

Your support is crucial in helping us extend a warm welcome to these new members of our community. Whether through a small contribution or a larger donation, every bit helps to create a brighter future for our new Palestinian friends. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their journey towards a fresh start.
