Last Friday night, twenty Year 6 Mini Vinnies students slept out in the school hall. The aim was to shine a spotlight on the issue of homelessness by experiencing a glimpse of ‘sleeping rough” for one night whilst raising crucial funds and awareness for Vinnies Services and Programs. Every day, Vinnies change lives. They assist thousands of people who are in need of support.

The students are a credit to their families and our school for their excellent behaviour and wonderful engagement in all activities. They are to be commended for their insights and service to our community.

Thank you to the many staff who assisted with this important event. Without your assistance, experiences like this are not possible.

Our goal was to raise over $1000, as $1000 prevents a family from being evicted from their home. The students raised $1,196. This money has been added to the gold coin donations from the mufti day last Wednesday. Altogether St Michael's raised $1840 for our local St Vincent de Paul Society. Well done everyone!
