A very warm welcome back to Term 3 to counterbalance the chilly temperatures we have been experiencing. A special welcome to our one returning family and four new families. I hope you find the St Thomas More’s Community to be friendly and soon feel one of the team.

Mini Vinnies Winter Heart-Warmers Talent Show

The Mini Vinnies Winter Heart-Warmers Talent Show held at lunchtime on Thursday, 5 July 2018 was fabulous! A lot of thought, effort and teamwork went into presenting entertaining and fitting performances. We had a wonderful audience. Thank you to parents who were able to take time to come along and watch. We raised $71.20 which will be donated to 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.

SVdP Winter Clothing Appeal and Winter Woollies for SVdP Night Patrol Van

Thank you very much to all families who were able to donate items towards the SVdP Winter Clothing Appeal and Winter Woollies. Your donations have been delivered to Vinnies. The Winter Woollies were very gratefully received by the Night Patrol Van. The second hand clothing either directly helps struggling families and individuals or is distributed to the Vinnies Stores to help generate revenue for St Vincent de Paul’s work within the community.

Next Mini Vinnies Meeting

Our next Mini Vinnies Meeting will be held on Thursday, 2 August (Week 2) after eating time at lunchtime in the Afters Area. We will be planning our focus for Term 3.
