Vinnies Reading Program

Free reading program 

St Vincent de Paul run a reading program which offers children the chance to read with a volunteer each week. The program runs each Tuesday of the school term (3:30 - 4.45pm in the nurture room). It is open to any student at Warrnambool East Primary (prep to Year 6). Students of all ages and abilities are welcome, from those who need additional support to those who are confident and avid readers. The program provides students with a safe and welcoming environment where they can experience the magic of books, enhance their skills, make new friends and enjoy the support of a caring adult. Vinnie’s would love to welcome some new faces. Please see reception for an enrolment form.

Volunteers wanted 

If you are a caring adult with basic literacy skills and a few hours to spare each week, Vinnies would love to hear from you! St Vincent de Paul run a reading program which offers children the chance to read with a volunteer each week. The program coordinator would love to welcome additional volunteers to the sessions, which run each Tuesday of the school term (3:30 - 4.45pm in the nurture room). Volunteering with this program is immensely r

ewarding and offers a wonderful opportunity to support young people in their learning journey.   All volunteers must hold a current Working With Children Check which will need to be presented to the school office. A photo copy will be kept on file.
