ST VINCENT DE PAUL WINTER APPEAL

A BIG THANK YOU to all our families for supporting our St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal last Friday. $700 was raised along with four baskets of Winter apparel.

Thank you for your generosity.

On Friday night, 24 Mini Vinnies students participated in the Winter Sleepout. They braved the cold and went without their usual luxuries and comforts of life to experience those in our community doing it tough every night. They collected sponsorship and raised well over $1300. We are still waiting on some donations.

Judith Walker from the Vinnies Conference at Nowra was our guest speaker. She was delighted with the students’ efforts. With the increase in food prices, Nowra Vinnies distribute $3000 each fortnight in vouchers, so the monies raised will be well spent. 

Thank you to Mrs Carolyn Rutkowski, Mrs Michelle Heffernan, Mrs Cathy Palmer, Mrs Sam Luxford and Mrs Bernie Royston for their support in assisting with this important event. A special thank you to Miss Hayley Millsom and Mr Dylan Anderson who slept overnight with myself and the students. It was a great experience.

Having the mufti day and sleepout to support those in need, just like Jesus did is an important part of Catholic education. Well done Mini Vinnies!

CLASS MASSES

Year 6 attended their class mass this week. Thank you to the parents who were able to join them to celebrate mass.

The following class masses will take place over the next two weeks:

It would be lovely if you are able to join your child’s grade mass. Celebrating the mass with your child is an important of our faith. We look forward to welcoming you at the class masses.

Thank you
