2025 Vinnies Winter Appeal

 

As always, our connection with St Vincent de Paul and Vinnies is an important aspect of our Catholic Service.  This year, we are going to have a Winter Appeal Fundraiser that will be focusing on rent, groceries, fuel, furniture, linen etc. However our main focus is going to be creating awareness of people in our community that are in need – who can be ‘invisible’. Please see a video produced by Vinnies. 

 

Date: Friday 27th June  [Week 9 Term 2]

What: Gold Coin Donation* 

Wear: Pyjama Day – students are invited to wear their Pyjamas for the day.

Why: To reflect, and become aware of how lucky we are, and that unfortunately there are people that do not have what we have, and hopefully a small donation can help them. 

 

*As a school we understand that it may be difficult for some families to offer a monetary donation, therefore we are welcoming gold coins if available.

 

Additionally, each Stage is allocated specific items that will help the St Vincent de Paul restock their supplies. Over the next few weeks you are invited to bring the items in for donation. All donations are extremely appreciated. 

 

Please be advised that all items are to be donated by 23rd June Week 9 Term 2.
