Why Is Our Principal So Sad?

By Catherine McAuley College, Mackay

He’s ineligible to buy a ticket in the amazing New Car Raffle!

Why?... as a member of the Parent Engagement Group (PEG) and the organising committee, the rules do not permit.  After sadness there is acceptance. Somewhere out there amongst our College supporters is a lucky person and all they need to do is buy a ticket!

Excitement is building as Catherine McAuley College’s Parent Engagement Group launches its biggest fundraiser of the year;  a car raffle giving one lucky winner the chance to drive away in a brand-new 2026 Mitsubishi ASX valued at $34,990. Every ticket purchased has a 1 in 1000 chance to win so don’t miss out!

One of the key reasons behind the PEG Car Raffle is to help fund projects, initiatives and opportunities that directly benefit the students of Catherine McAuley College and enhance the overall school community experience.

Funds raised through initiatives like this help support resources, student programs, community events and improvements that may not otherwise be possible, Being a new school, it really is about creating opportunities for students to thrive;  both inside and outside the classroom; while strengthening the sense of connection and community within the College.

The winning ticket will be drawn at the College’s highly anticipated Annual Trivia Night to be held on 23 October this year.

Parents and community members are encouraged to get involved by purchasing their tickets and spreading the word. Every ticket purchased is not just a chance to win a car, but also a way for the wider Mackay community to invest back into the students and future of Catherine McAuley College.
