Across Edmund Rice schools around the country, students are stepping behind the camera with purpose, and the results are nothing short of inspiring.
As part of Doco in a Day, students are challenged to plan, film and edit a short documentary in just one day, tackling powerful global issues such as access to education. With only one school day and a shared sense of purpose, students are rising to the challenge — producing short films that are insightful, passionate, and deeply moving.
This year’s submissions showcase the creativity, courage and compassion of our young changemakers. Each documentary is a testament to the values that underpin Edmund Rice Foundation: presence, compassion and liberation.
But Doco in a Day isn’t just about creating films. It’s about making a real-world impact. Students are also raising funds to support Edmund Rice Foundation projects across East and Southern Africa, Australia, the Philippines and Timor Leste — projects that provide life-changing access to education and opportunities for those who need it most.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive.
In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life.
But, with your help, this can change.
With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond.
Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
