Winter SleepOut

Lets End Homelessness

This newsletter was held over so we could include the VCAL winter sleepout which occurred on Friday night.  Although it did not rain it was a very cold night.  By the time the students and teachers all met on line it was only 6 degrees with a pretty heavy dew.  The VCAL class and their teachers were joined by Mr Murphy, Ms Ford and Jackson Taylor, (MP for Bayswater).  Jackson spoke to the students about his commitment to improving housing in the electorate and highlighted some current projects that were underway whilst acknowledging that more still needs to be done.

We we pleased to see families joining in and were interested in the variety of ways in which students were sleeping rough.  We certainly hope that other families joined in with their own winter sleep outs. Special thanks to Ms King, Mr Burleigh, Ms Lobriza, Ms Siv, all who we are sure enjoyed the warmth and comfort of their beds on Saturday night.
