OMAD 2025

What is OMAD?

Oblate Mission Action Day is the most important fundraising event the College hosts to support the Oblate Missions. This day represents what it means to be an Ionian. Events like OMAD are one way we, as a community, learn to be of service and help others. As Ionians, we are called to action to raise awareness of the Missionary Association of Mary Immaculate (MAMI) and contribute funds that will support the missionary work of the Oblate priests working to bring hope to those in need.

What do I wear?

This Friday you can wear your school excursion polo (black and white stripe) and College HPE shorts. If it is cold, the College tracksuit may be worn. Students are permitted to change into their house shirt or appropriate costumes following the Assumption Mass. Enclosed shoes are essential.

How do I pay?

The preferred method of payment on Friday is eftpos or Mission Money, cash will also be accepted. No phones can be used for payment. If you have pre-ordered Mission Money, you can collect this on Friday morning from Long 4.

What is there to do?

Thanks to the help of many student volunteers, we have an exciting lineup of activities to raise money this year! Highlights include the Golf Ball Challenge, Putting Game, Lob a Choc, Arcade Room, Chill Out Zone, Lolly Wheel, Cebula Raffle, rock-climbing wall and bungee trampoline, face painting, paper plane and water rocket competitions, cricket, ski erg, basketball, Hot Shots, Splat the Rat, Nerf Room, cornhole, the new Green Bin Superspot Raffle, and the ever-popular Dunk Tank.
