SEE HOW: How to Make a Sockball
Socktober is an initiative where students create soccer balls from recycled materials, reflecting the resourcefulness of children in developing nations. Held around the Mission Month of October, the campaign encourages students to participate in soccer-themed activities using their handmade balls, while also engaging with peers. Throughout the month of October we will raise funds to support children in need around the world, combining fun, learning, and global awareness.
Watch the Kick Goals For Good! Socktober 2025 video to learn more.
Socktober is an exciting and fun opportunity for staff, students and families to make a meaningful impact on people's lives from where they are. It is also a program that empowers students to take Catholic action, where they learn the meaning of Human dignity, Solidarity, common good, Preferential Option for the Poor, and the other core elements of Catholic Social Teaching.
Our official day of celebration will be on Friday 24 October. We will also have some prizes for the best home made soccer balls and the most raised money. Let’s sock it to poverty.
