POINTS TO NOTE Representative jerseys and hats are no longer to be worn on sports days. If a student receives/purchases a jersey or hat at a rep carnival, they may wear it to school for one day following the carnival, to celebrate their achievement, otherwise they are to wear the expected school uniform.
Discussion regarding this will occur at our next Parents and Friends Meeting. School hats are not designed to last from K through to Year 6. After two or three years, when hats have faded significantly, or have loose threads/rips, please consider purchasing a new hat. This also applies to GSFM representative caps.
Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal
Each year the Mini Vinnies team run a collection of non-perishable food to support vulnerable community members through the cold winter months. This year, our Winter Appeal theme will be “no one chooses to be homeless”.
The focus is on addressing homelessness, highlighting the factors that lead to homelessness and the support needed to recover and rebuild over the long-term of experiencing homelessness.
The Vinnies Winter Appeal plays a major role in ensuring our Members and Volunteers can continue to provide support to the people we assist and that our services are able to meet their individual needs.
How can our community help?
Donating to the Winter Appeal is a meaningful way to live out our school values. By showing Love of Christ and Neighbour, we extend care and compassion to those in need. Through Hospitality and Community, we open our hearts to others, fostering a spirit of generosity and kindness. Finally, through Stewardship, we use our resources wisely to support those less fortunate, ensuring that our actions reflect our commitment to making a positive difference. Every donation, big or small, helps bring warmth and hope to those in need.
