Our school will be supporting the St Vincent de Paul Society Winter Appeal beginning in Week 6, and we warmly invite our community to help us support those in need. 💙

We will be collecting non-perishable items such as canned meat, tinned fruit, rice, canned vegetables, baked beans, and other pantry staples. Donations can be sent with your child to their classroom. 🥫🫙

As part of this initiative, we will also host a Pyjackie Day on Thursday, 26 June. Students are invited to come dressed in their pyjamas, trackies, or casual clothes and bring along a donation for the Winter Appeal. This will also be the final day for donations. 👚👕

Thank you for your generosity and support in making a difference to those in our community. ✨🌏
