St Vincent De Paul Advent Giving Drive

As we approach this year’s Advent season, OLA is delighted to host our annual Advent Giving Drive in partnership with our OLA branch of St Vincent de Paul. Each year, this initiative provides an opportunity for our community to spread joy in the spirit of giving.

The Advent Giving Drive supports children aged 0-17, ensuring they experience a special and memorable Christmas. Many of these children are teenagers, so gift cards (e.g. for music, sport or shopping) are especially appreciated. We are also collecting festive treats such as puddings, chocolates, and biscuits, to contribute to the hampers St Vincent de Paul assembles for families in need.

If you’d like to participate, please consider donating a gift card or festive treat. A box has been placed in the front office for any donations.

We kindly ask that all contributions are brought to the school by Friday 28 November. This allows time for the Vinnies group to wrap hampers and deliver to thos ein need by 5 December so families know what they have and don't have. 

Thank you for your generosity and support in making this Advent season a joyful time for all.
