Winter Woollies Day
Just a gentle reminder, on Friday the 5th of July, we will be having a Winter Woollies Day in support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal. The students will participate in workshops run by the staff of Saint Vincent De Paul to help educate students on social justice. The day will be non-uniform; students can wear their own winter woollies. We are asking families to support the day by bringing in a donation which will be distributed to those experiencing homelessness in our community. Students are asked to bring item/s from the list below:
Rough Sleeping Essentials
New adult sized: gloves, beanies, scarfs, socks and hats;
New/pre-loved: jackets, coats, blankets and sleeping bags.
NB Large sized neutral coloured clothing is preferable
Hygiene Essentials
New items including: toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner, moisturiser, face wash etc
NB Travel sized items are recommended
If you would like more information about the donations, please see the Vinnies Appeal Kit attached.
