Mini Vinnies

Mini Vinnies have been practising for our Winter Heart-Warmers Talent Show. The show will be held at lunchtime on Thursday, 28 June 2018 (Week 9). Funds raised (gold donation at the door) will go towards the St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol Van. The van is operated by volunteers and offers friendship, support and refreshments to homeless people every night of the year. Our next Mini Vinnies Meeting will be Thursday 28 June (Week 9).

SVdP Winter Clothing Appeal

If you have good quality winter clothing that is outgrown or not worn anymore, or blankets/doonas/bed linen that are not used, you may want to donate them to the SVdP Winter Clothing Appeal. Bags and a note have been sent home. Donations can be given to the Front Office until 4 July (Wednesday Week 10).

Winter Woollies for SVdP Night Patrol Van

All classes are invited to donate winter woollies to help support the SVdP Night Patrol Van who are always struggling to have enough to give particularly during winter months (men’s items is what is most needed):

Kinder/Year 1/Year 2 – new socks

3/4 and 5/6 – new gloves

Collection boxes for donations will be placed in each classroom in Week 8. If you would prefer to donate a different item than allocated to your class (ie scarves or beanies), that is absolutely fine. All donations will be very gratefully received.

Holiday Happenings

‘Holiday Happenings’ is an excellent resource if you are looking for activities for children in the school holidays. Your child may be interested in winning a Family Pass to see James and the Giant Peach produced by Child Players ACT by entering the colouring-in competition (centre pages). Information can also be accessed online: http://holidayhappenings.com.au/ Wishing everyone a great two weeks for the July School Holidays.
