Mission Action Day continues a proud Mazenod tradition of standing in solidarity with those most in need.
What began more than four decades ago as Jog for Java has grown into a powerful expression of our College’s commitment to social justice. Each year, students and staff come together to raise awareness and funds for the Missionary Association of Mary Immaculate (M.A.M.I), supporting Oblate missions in communities across the world and here in Australia.
Guided by this year’s theme, Humble Leaders Dedicated to Making a Difference, our 2026 student leaders invite the Mazenod community to once again take part in this important mission.
How to get involved
This year, we highly encourage each family at the College to donate an amount that is comfortable for them.
Students are also asked to reach out to family and friends to sponsor them in the annual 4.5km Walkathon that will occur at the very start of MAD day.
Families may also donate prizes for the MAD day raffle. If your family owns a business and is seeking sponsorship, or has any items that they would like to donate, the school would greatly appreciate any donations of any size! Any hospitality business who also seek to be sponsored would be able to contribute to our food sales for the day.
Finally, we encourage all students to participate in the event as much as they can, as every single dollar spent enjoying the day is a dollar that will help others around the world.
We look forward to your support as we aim to make this MAD day as big and great as possible!
