Spring Fair and Mini Vinnies

Our Mini Vinnies and Secondary Vinnies crew are busy creating 'envirobags' using pre-loved t'shirts and are calling for donations of no-longer-worn t'shirts which will be transformed into bags.

Please send any unwanted t'shirts to school ASAP so Vinnies can get making.

Vinnies Bags will be available to purchase from the Spring Fair for $2 each.
