ST VINCENT DE PAUL WINTER APPEAL
MUFTI DAY- WEDNESDAY 7 AUGUST
Gold Coin Donation
Your generosity this Winter will help provide people with food, clothing and a safe place to sleep at night.
On Wednesday, students may wear mufti. We are encouraging students to wear green and gold to support our Aussie athletes at the Olympics. Please remember to wear closed in shoes and no zinc.
Year 6 Mini Vinnies Team will brave the cold on Friday 9 August as they experience what it is like to sleep without the comfort of a bed and a warm meal, when they sleep overnight in the school hall. They have been busy seeking sponsorship. Funds will be donated to the Nowra St Vincent de Paul Conference to assist those in need in our local community.
